#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  char line[50] = "Name,Quarter,Product,Sales";
  char data[4][10]; /* changed [10][4] to [4][10] */

  /* change "%s" to "%[^,]" */
  sscanf(line, "%[^,],%[^,],%[^,],%s", data[0], data[1], data[2], data[3]);
  puts(data[0]);
  puts(data[1]);
  puts(data[2]);
  puts(data[3]);

  return 0;
