Thread: I have some questions :(

I dont know what ya all make of this but Ive spend the morning writing code that I think should hopefully fulfil the requirements of my assignment, I know it doesnt work but I'd like peoples advice and input on what to change and stuff to make it work.

Code:

#include <conio.h> 
#include <stdio.h> 

void main (void)
{
     char ch;
     int year1;
     int year2;
     int name
     int +1
     
     printf ("Press C to check if accepted and failed applications folder is created: ");
     // Im unsure how and if borland complier can create and/or check folders if someone knows how please share thanks
     
     printf ("If you would like to display how many applications have beed processed, Please press p: ");
     // Im unsure how and if borland complier can display how many applications have beed processed if someone knows how please share thanks 
    
     printf ("Please input applicates full name");
     if (name = %d)printf($d "application record");
     else printf ("Please input applicates name");//if nothing is enterd
     
          printf ("Please input" %d "maths grade: ");
     ch = getche(a, b, c, d);
     if(get che = a)printf("passed");
     if(get che = b)printf("passed");
     if(get che = c)printf("passed");
     if(get che = d)printf("fail");
     else printf("Please input" %d "maths grade: ");// if nothing is entered
     
     printf ("Please input" %d "english lit grade: ");
     ch = getche(a, b, c, d);
     if(get che = a)printf("passed");
     if(get che = b)printf("passed");
     if(get che = c)printf("passed");
     if(get che = d)printf("fail");
     else printf("Please input" %d "english lit grade: ");// if nothing is entered
  
     printf ("Please input" %d "english lag grade: ");
     ch = getche(a, b, c, d);
     if(get che = a)printf("passed");
     if(get che = b)printf("passed");
     if(get che = c)printf("passed");
     if(get che = d)printf("fail");
     else printf("Please input" %d "english lag grade: ");// if nothing is entered
  
     printf ("Please input" %d "science grade: ");
     ch = getche(a, b, c, d);
     if(get che = a)printf("passed");
     if(get che = b)printf("passed");
     if(get che = c)printf("passed");
     if(get che = d)printf("fail");
     else printf("Please input" %d "science grade: ");// if nothing is entered


     printf ("Please enter the year of" %d "born: ");//year1
     printf ("Please enter current year: ");//year2
     if (year1 = 1994 - year2 = 2009)printf("15 is not accepted age");
     if (year1 = 1993 - year2 = 2009)printf("16 is an accepted age");
     if (year1 = 1992 - year2 = 2009)printf("17 is an accepted age");
     if (year1 = 1991 - year2 = 2009)printf("18 is an accepted age");
     if (year1 = 1990 - year2 = 2009)printf("19 is an accepted age");
     if (year1 = 1989 - year2 = 2009)printf("20 is an accepted age");
     else (year1 = 0 - year = 0)printf("Please input the year of" %d "born and current year" );//if nothing is entered
         
    
     printf ("Please state if" %d "is employed or unemployed: ");
     ch = getche(e, u);
     if (get che = e)printf (%d "is employed therefore cannot do course");
     if (get che = u)printf (%d "is unemployed therefore can do course");
     else printf ("Please state if" %d "is employed or uneployed: ");//if nothing is entered
    
    
     printf ("Please confirm" %d "information: ");
     printf ("Math grade entered: ");
     printf ("English lit grade entered: ");
     printf ("English lag grade entered: ");
     printf ("Science grade entered: ");
     printf ("Age: ");
     printf ("Job status: ");
     
     printf ("If this information is correct, press y, If this information isnt correct, press n");
     ch = getche(y, n);
     if (getche = y)
     printf ("Based on information entered the math grade is: ");//
     printf ("Based on information entered the english lit grade is: ");//
     printf ("Based on information entered the english lan grade is: ");//
     printf ("Based on information entered the science grade is: ");//
     printf ("Based on information entered age is: ");//
     printf ("Based on information entered job status is: ");//
     if (getche = n) //loop to be entered in here
     else printf ("If this information is correct, press y, If this information isnt correct, press n");//if nothing is entered
     
     
     printf ("Application is: ");//states whether application is accepted or failed 
     if (Application = accepted)save to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Accepted; 
     if (Application = accepted)save as %d; //save under students name
     if (Application = accepted) +1 ;//once the folder has 6 accepted applications:
     printf ("Sorry no more postions left");
     if (Application = failed)save to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Failed;
     if (Application = failed)save as %d; // save under students name
     if (Application = failed) +1 ;
     
     printf ("Total applications accepted: "); 
     printf ("Total applications failed: ");
     
     system("pause");
     return 0;
     
}

Don't be discouraged by the cantakerous, geekrockergirl!

But don't be too flip either -- your second question verges on thinking outloud to myself only. I presume by "application" you mean some kind of text file and not "application" as in executable program.

Anyway, w/r/t the first question, how C deals with the filesystem is not specific to one compiler, so your question is really "how can I use C to create and/or check folders?" In fact, this process is the same even across operating systems, but in the documentation they will be called directories and not folders. The first C command you want to look up is opendir. The other is mkdir.
