practice problem : birthday candles

general
1

Cant figure where my code is going wrong. giving 11 instead of 10 for 2nd sample input. .
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
int i,small,pos,pos2,t,a[10],small2,flag,num;
scanf("%d",&t);
while(t–)
{ small=10;pos=10;pos2=10;small2=10;flag=0;num=0;
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
scanf("%d",&a[i]);
for(i=9;i>=0;i–)
{
if(a[i]<=small)
{ small=a[i];
pos=i; }
}
if(pos==0)
{
for(i=1;i<10;i++)
{
if(a[i]==small)
{
pos2=i;
flag=1;
break;
}
}
if(flag==0)
{
for(i=9;i>=1;i–)
{
if(a[i]<=small2)
{pos2=i;
small2=a[i];
}
}
small++;
num=pos2*(10^small);
}
}
if((pos!=0)||(flag==1))
{
if(flag==1)
pos=pos2;
small++;
while(small!=0)
{
num=num*10+pos;
small–;
}
}
printf("%d\n",num);
}
return 0;
}

please post your code in proper blocks

The logic is flawed. It does not work when the chef has 1 each of all types of candles.
Please check the logic again.
Here is the code in proper blocks -

   int main(void) 
   { 

   int i,small,pos,pos2,t,a[10],small2,flag,num;

   scanf("%d",&t); 

   while(t--) 
    { 
	small=10;
	pos=10;
	pos2=10;
	small2=10;
	flag=0;
	num=0; 
	for(i=0;i<10;i++) 
		scanf("%d",&a[i]); 
	for(i=9;i>=0;i--) 
	{ 
		if(a[i]<=small) 
		{ 
			small=a[i]; 
			pos=i; 
		} 
	} 
	if(pos==0) 
	{ 
		for(i=1;i<10;i++) 
		{ 
			if(a[i]==small) 
			{ 
				pos2=i; 
				flag=1; 
				break; 
			} 
		} 
		if(flag==0) 
		{ 
		for(i=9;i>=1;i--) 
		{ 
			if(a[i]<=small2) 
			{
				pos2=i; 
				small2=a[i]; 
			} 
		} 
		small++; 
		num=pos2*pow(10,small); 
		} 
	} 
	if((pos!=0)||(flag==1)) 
	{ 
		if(flag==1) 
			pos=pos2; 
		small++; 
		while(small!=0) 
		{ 
			num=num+pos; 
			small--; 
		} 
	} 
	printf("%d\n",num); 
} 
return 0;
