2010 Homework No. 3 - findsuss

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-15 22:56

Write a program in the language of your choice that takes a string and inputs "SUSSMAN" for every time those characters appear. In case I'm not being clear, that means output "SUSSMAN" for every 3 's's and 1 'u', 'm', 'a', and 'n' in the string. Inputting "ssssumanssssssssssuman", for example, would print "SUSSMAN" twice. "ssuman", however, would print nothing.

I've written an inelegant solution in C, which I'll post in a second. It tends to crash after execution, however, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. It does everything it's supposed to but refuses to terminate politely. Even stranger, it only happens when there is enough characters for two or more sussmen. I guess the problem is in the susscount loop, but I can't figure out where. Mind giving me a hand, /prog/?

I wasn't trying to write anything impressive.
You certainly accomplished that.
Protip: C doesn't have variable length arrays or array bounds checking. Your scanf loop is writing all over random memory, and it's a miracle it doesn't crash right there (though it will if you input longer strings).
