Hi James
First of all your else clause is never executed because i is always smaller
than members (I<member) the use of if else clause is not right here. What
you wont to do is to keep asking WHILE i is smaller than members...
Change your if clause to something like...
while i is smaller than members do
ask for members name //increase i with i++ inside the array (names[i++])
the else clause can be omitted totally...
Take out the ...
else { and the matching } and your code work perfectly
My best regards
