Ok when the program is running..

it asks me 1 to 100 i enter 55
Enter Name
Jack

then i want to change the Name
Enter New Name
William

its not over writing Jack and placing William into that location.. But its only Adding that to the End of that Array location.

this is what im getting
!David·çˇ˛æ∆NNêå!Jack·çˇ˛æ∆NNêå

i just want to see
Jack·çˇ˛æ∆NNêå
