Have I gone wrong in populating this array?-CodePudding

I'm new to C, and I'm trying to print an array consisting of whole numbers upto a certain number(excluding this number) received as input. Here's my code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  int n; int* k;
  k = &n;
  printf("Enter number");
  scanf("%d", &n);
  int set[*k];
  for(int i=0; i<=n;i  ){
    set[i]= i;
  }
  
}

I used printf in the last line with different inputs to check if it was working properly. I expected the output to be 0 1 2 3....n-1 but instead I got the output 1 2 3 4 ....n. Doesn't the index of an array begin with a zero? What am I missing here?

CodePudding user response：

Array indices in C do start at 0 but your loop is written incorrectly, and will let i iterate all the way up to n. Replace i <= n with i < n so the loop stops after n - 1.
