Why does For-Loop terminate all the codes after itself?

Question

After the for-loop finishes printing myArray, it simply doesn't let any further code to progress anymore and returns the value -1073741819.

int main() {

char *myArray[]={"Carmaker1","Carmaker2","Carmaker3","Carmaker4","Carmaker5","Carmaker6"};

for ( int i = 0 ; myArray[i] != '\0' ; i++ ) {
    
    printf("%s ",*(myArray+i));
}
/*

.Some code here...

Answer 1

The expression

myArray[i] != '\0' 

is equivalent to

myArray[i] != NULL 

But your array does not contain an element with the value NULL.

So either declare the array like

char *myArray[]={"Carmaker1","Carmaker2","Carmaker3","Carmaker4","Carmaker5","Carmaker6", NULL};

(appending an initializer with the value NULL ) and use the loop

for ( int i = 0 ; myArray[i] != NULL ; i++ ) {
    
    printf("%s ",*(myArray+i));
}

Or you can append the array with an empty string like

char *myArray[]={"Carmaker1","Carmaker2","Carmaker3","Carmaker4","Carmaker5","Carmaker6", ""};

and write the loop like

for ( int i = 0 ; myArray[i][0] != '\0' ; i++ ) {
    
    printf("%s ",*(myArray+i));
}

Or using the current declaration of the array change the loop the following way

for ( size_t i = 0 ; i!= sizeof( myArray ) / sizeof( *myArray ) ; i++ ) {
    
    printf("%s ",*(myArray+i));
}

Answer 2

You code has a bug, as suggested in the comments, you can fix your code as shown below,

#include<stdio.h>

int main() {

char *myArray[]=  {"Carmaker1","Carmaker2","Carmaker3","Carmaker4","Carmaker5","Carmaker6", ""};

for ( int i = 0 ; *myArray[i] != '\0' ; i++ ) {printf("%d, %s \n",i, *(myArray+i)); }

}
