Answer 1

You are doing stack allocation for your array, and stack-allocated storage goes away when a function returns. Use heap allocation instead.

Change

int total[10];

to

int* total = malloc(10*sizeof(int)).

of course, that means you must also free the memory after you are done with it. In this case, before the return 0; in main, you need to

free(x);
