我的代码在 VSCode 中运行，但不在 DevC 中运行

void arraydescending(int array[]){
    for (int j=0; j<9; j++){
        for (int i=0; i<8; i++)
        {
            if(array[i]<array[i+1]){
            int swapper = array[i+1];
            array[i+1]=array[i];
            array[i]=swapper;
            }
        }
    }
    for (int c=0; c<9; c++){
        printf("%d",array[c]);
    }
}

void arrayreverse(int array[])
{
    for(int i = 0; i<4; i++)
    {
        int swapper = array[i];
        array[i] = array[8-i];
        array[8-i] = swapper;

int main()
{
    int choice;
    printf("Please enter your choice:");
    scanf("%d", &choice);
    if(choice == 1)
    {
        int mynumberarray[9] = {1,1,0,2,0,0,0,4,7};
        int choice_2;
        printf("Write 1 for reverse order, write 2 for descending order:");
        scanf("%d", &choice_2);
        if(choice_2 == 1)
        {
            arrayreverse(mynumberarray);
        }
        else if(choice_2 == 2)
        {
            arraydescending(mynumberarray);
        }
        else
        {
            printf("Invalid choice");
        }
    }
    else if(choice == 2){
        int userarray[9];
        char * user_entry;
        printf("Please enter your school no (9 digits):");
        scanf("%s",user_entry);
        for(int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
        {
            userarray[i] = user_entry[i] - '0';
        }
        int choice_2;
        printf("Write 1 for reverse order, write 2 for descending order:");
        scanf("%d", &choice_2);
        if(choice_2 == 1)
        {
            arrayreverse(userarray);
        }
        else if(choice_2 == 2)
        {
            arraydescending(userarray);
        }
        else
        {
            printf("Invalid choice");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        printf("Invalid choice");
    }
    return 0;
}

This code runs correctly when I compiled it with gcc -std=c99;but my friend has DevC 5.11 version can compile the code but it doesn't run correctly in his DevC (It exits the program in the second scanf). Both compiles but why it does not run in DevC 5.11 with the compiler gcc 4.9.2? I am waiting for your suggestions because I didn't understand the reason behind it, my code looks like it has not any mistakes.

Answer 1

Your program has undefined behavior at least because in this code snippet

    char * user_entry;
    printf("Please enter your school no (9 digits):");
    scanf("%s",user_entry)

you are using the uninitialized pointer user_entry that has an indeterminate value. You need to declare a large enough character array where you are going to read a string of digits. Do not forget to reserve in the array a space for the terminating zero character of the read string.
