#Array help

instead of having to do all the if statements I want it so the user inputs a name from the array and we pull the position from it

Figure out what is duplicated code, i.e. which lines are almost exactly the same.
In your case the 4 if clauses look exactly the same, with the only difference being the number which is n - 1 for the nth if case.
Also be aware that in your case num is always just a local variable inside each individual if body.
As if now you wouldn't be able to access the variable after the if-else/if chain has ended

for(int i=0; i<4; i++) { // Use a loop here to make sure it's within the max amount of users
if (strcmp(usernameinput, users[i]) == 0) {
num = i; // Store the position of the username in num
break; // Exit the loop when the username is found
something like this?

Try it, I'm currently taking a dump so even if I wanted to I wouldn't be able to test it for you rn
