@chrisl About the SerialUSB, you are right; its the same thing as Serial. As for the randomized order, I wonder that myself ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Why do you use SerialUSB in your setup function, but Serial in the rest of the code? I'm not sure, what happens on an Arduino with only one serial interface, when using SerialUSB, but on other boards (as I recall the Due for example) These two are complete different interfaces. Though I don't see, how you can get this randomized order due to this.

@chrisl Thank you for the link. I (somewhat) understand now how Serial.read works, but I still cannot pause the loop until the second name input and register it into record[i].naming, thus the random sequences caused by random loop exits.

The problem, that Juraj mentioned, is that you seem to think, that all the data from one name input will arrive as a big chunk, so that the while loop will only exit, when a full name has been read. That is not the case. There might be pauses between arbitrary bytes in the stream, for example introduced from the OS of the PC. The while loop will often exit, before a full name is read. You can use the something like the readline function here: majenko.co.uk/blog/reading-serial-arduino

| Jan 28, 2019 at 7:30 | comment | added | Juraj♦ | your algorithm for reading the names is based on misunderstanding how Serial input works | |

@Juraj Nope still the same, though I also tried if(int i; i<2; i++) to no avail...

change ++i to i++
