Student here.
My dequeue is not working correctly. The dequeue function is not deleting the first element but the second element. For example, The user, first inputs the name "Jennie" and then the second is "Lisa", when the user selects the dequeue function, "Jennie" should be deleted, but my program deletes the second element which is "Lisa". How to fix this?

You need to increment the front after you dequeue the value:
int dequeue(char name[max][80], int *front, int *rear, char data[80])
{
if(*front == *rear)
return -1;
strcpy(data, name[(*front)++]);
return 1;
}
