suppose i hav 4 numbers in a array a[4]=(0,5,6,7);

now i want to create a newarray 4x3 havin elements as:
0,5,6
0,5,7
0,6,7
5,6,7

plz write a code for the conversion n help me;

thanx
vijay k.

I would suggest Kingo you used goto try using the return instead.

Instead of goto EXIT; write return 0;

goto is not a good programming practice.

yeah thts true...........
