switch satement

i have to do this program that reads 15 employee records into a 20 element array, and that your able to search , add, remove, print , and exit . I have tired reading the tutorials and in my book but still very lost. This is a part of the program that has the switch statment. If anyone can help me out please.. it would be greatly appreciated

Code:

int main()

{

student_record database[SIZE]; //database for student records

char command; //holds the command to execute

int count=0; //contains count of actual number of items in database

initialize(database,count);

printf("Enter a command: s=search, p=print, r=remove,i=insert, e=exit\n");

scanf(" %c", &command);


{
while (command!='e')



switch (command)



case 's' :search(student_record DB[], int count, char key[]) ;
break;

case 'p' : print_array(int x[ ], int count);
break;

case 'r': remove_record(student_record DB[], int * count, char key[]);
break;

case 'i': insert(student_record DB[], int * count);
break;
}


printf("Enter acommand:s=search,p=print,r=remove,i=insert,e=exit\n");

scanf(" &c", &command);



return 0;

}

It would help if you could state what problem you are encountering.

> search(student_record DB[], int count, char key[]) ;
Well you managed to call functions outside of case statements, so why did you just paste the prototypes inside?

Code:

{
while (command!='e')



switch (command)



case 's' :search(student_record DB[], int count, char key[]) ;
break;

case 'p' : print_array(int x[ ], int count);
break;

case 'r': remove_record(student_record DB[], int * count, char key[]);
break;

case 'i': insert(student_record DB[], int * count);
break;
}

What are those braces meant to be doing?
