Answer 1

In C, strings end in a '\0' (NUL) character. Because your declaration is x[...][5], the terminating NUL character of "eight" can not be stored, so printf does not know when eight ends.

Because "eight" and "nine" are stored sequentially in memory, printf continues searching, until it finds nine's '\0'.

To solve this bug, declare it as char x[...][6]
