Hi,

you have two more errors here.
First, as you overwrite the array "a" in each "i" loop, you will only
have results for i=N, not for all i. You need to declare "a" before the
first loop.
Second, a[i] will not work when i=N. As you start i at 1, not 0, you
would need to do a[i-1]=j (or a[i-1]=j-1, to be on the same base)
