    <p>The program below uses a keypad and arduino to test whether an input is equal to the password. Whenever '#' is pressed the input is checked and then the variable storing the input resets to an empty string (char input[257] = ""). The program then loops back to the beginning of the void loop() code block. I am having a problem when my program loops back to the beginning of the "void loop()" code block. When i reset input to an empty string, input is reset to an empty string as it should. However, when the program loops the value of input is changed to what it was before. So if i originally entered "123abc" and hit '#' the program would tell me that the input was incorrect and then the program would reset the variable to an empty string, but when the program loops the variable storing the empty string is changed back to "123abc". What's happening? Why doesn't the variable remain an empty string? </p> <pre><code>#include &lt;Keypad.h&gt; const byte ROWS = 4; //four rows const byte COLS = 4; //three columns char keys[ROWS][COLS] = { {'1','2','3','A'}, {'4','5','6','B'}, {'7','8','9','C'}, {'*','0','#','D'} }; byte rowPins[ROWS] = {5, 4, 3, 2}; //connect to the row pinouts of the keypad byte colPins[COLS] = {9, 8, 7, 6}; //connect to the column pinouts of the keypad char password[9] = "3994A", input[257]=""; Keypad keypad = Keypad( makeKeymap(keys), rowPins, colPins, ROWS, COLS ); int x; void setup(){ Serial.begin(9600); } void loop(){ x = 0; Serial.println(input); while (1) { char key = keypad.getKey(); if (key) { if (key == '#') { break; } input[x] = key; x+=1; } } if (strcmp(password,input) == 0) {Serial.println("Access Granted"); } else {Serial.println("Access Denied"); } char input[257] = ""; Serial.println(input); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
