Problem1: When I tried outputting a printf "error message" at dividing by zero, it screwed up my code and no output was shown at all.
Problem2: When I perform an operation, I get 8 results instead of 5.
Please help ASAP. Thanks.

Your showVec function should be:

void showVec( float v[] ) {
int i;
for(i=0; i<MAX; ++i) {
     printf( "%.2f ", v[i] );
}

Your divide function should be:

void divide() { 
		int i; 
		for(i=0; i<MAX; ++i) {
                        if(v2[i]==0)
                        {
                              printf("Divide by zero error\n");
                              return;
                        }
			v3[i] = v1[i] / v2[i]; 
		}

You hadn't really "stupid-proofed" your code before. You had only warned the user not to enter zero, but displayed no error msg when he actually did.

On another note, you might want to use switch cases instead of if else ladders. In my opinion, it would give your code more clarity.
