Displaying Scores in Table

Lesson after lesson.. It's me again guys... just finish the second lab exercise.... hmmm... And now our lesson is about multiple arrays... =) I had already this code here:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
int score[5][3], total[5];
int st, sc;
clrscr();
	for(st=0;st<=4;st++)
	{
	total[st]=0;
		for(sc=0;sc<=2;sc++)
		{
		scanf("%i",&score[st][sc]);
		total[st]=total[st]+score[st][sc];
		printf("%i",total[st]);
		}
	}
}

That code will total 5 scores. My problem is how to add code so that the program will do something like this:

Program:

Enter Student Name: John

Enter 3 Scores of the Student:
10
10
10

(screen clears)

Enter Student Name: Ronald

Enter 3 Scores of the Student:
9
10
9

(screen clears)

Enter Student Name: Karlo

Enter 3 Scores of the Student:
9
8
8

(screen clears)
(Final Output)

Students 1 2 3 Total
John 10 10 10 30
Ronald 9 10 9 28
Karlo 9 8 8 25

John Got the Highest Total Score of 30.

(terminate)

Hmmm... Hope this info helps... Thanks in advance... ^^

You can use array of structures to do this.
1. Declare a structure having name and score as its members.
2. In main, declare an array of that structure and input the required fields(name and 3scores) using loop.
I dont know how to make the screen clear after every input of student. You can use clrscr() but that's a non-standard function which I used with TC.

Ready for parallel arrays?

As the name implies, you use two arrays, one for char's (for the name of the student), and one for int's (for their scores and total)

The index is the trick here, because name[0] is John, and scores[0][0], [0,1],[0,2],[0,3], and scores[0,4] are john's marks and total. The 0 index, keeps both name and scores, linked together.

Code:

  for(i = 0; i < numOfStudents; i++) {
    printf("\n%s : ", names[i]);
    for(j = 0; j < numOfTests+1; j++)
      printf("%d %d %d %d" , scores[i][j]);
  }

That way it's a name, then all his scores and total, then newline and the next name, and all that students numbers.

You could also do this with structs (in an array of structs), but you probably haven't had structs yet.

Note that the name string, like all C strings MUST have an end of string char on it. Also, there is no second index (like maybe j), on the line of code where the names are printed. You only want the first index there. That's the whole char string on row i.

Hmm.. How to make a table using gotoxy function on that? =)

If you are printing up a table row by row, and never have to go back to an earlier row, or down to a later row, and return -

then you don't need to use gotoxy(), at all. You have excellent formatting ability using just printf().

Remember that %3d will print your numbers in a field 3 digits wide, and right adjusted. %5.2f will print a float in a field 5 digits wide, and include just 2 digits after the decimal point.

If for some reason you *have* to use gotoxy(), then put it right before the printf() line of code. You'll need to add a set of braces around the printf() and gotoxy() lines, to make them work as they should, in the body of the for loop.

Thanks for the reply adak.. Here is the code i made using gotoxy() function.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
int x, y, score[3][3], col=15, lin=4, sum[5];
char name[5][20];
clrscr();
gotoxy(25,2);
printf("Quiz Score");
gotoxy(3,2);
printf("Student Name");
for(x=0;x<=4;x++)
	{
	gotoxy(6,lin);
	gets(name[x]);
	for(y=0;y<=2;y++)
		{
		gotoxy(col,lin);
		scanf("%i",&score[x][y]);
		col=col+15;
		}
	lin=lin+2;
	col=15;
	}
getche();
}

I'm able to create an output that will enter name of the student and 3 scores in a table form. But I can't display it to the next name. I want to enter 5 students and each has 3 scores and at the end of each scores will be the total score.

And lastly will display who got the highest score..

To have a clear picture of the output:

Student Name Quiz Scores Total Score

John 50 50 50 150
Ron 45 50 50 145
Don 45 45 50 140
and so on ....

John got the highest total score of 150....


Thanks in Advance.

So inside your for loop where you enter scores, you need a sum variable:

Code:

for(i = 0, sum = 0; i <= 2; i++) {
  scanf("%d", &score);
  //print your score here  
  sum += score;   //C expression for sum = sum + score
}
//print your sum here before you loop back for another student's name

I'm sideswiped by this: "But I can't display it to the next name." What does that mean?

Thanks Adak... here is my code now... about the problem earlier, i cannot enter the second name.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
main()
{
int x, y, score[3][3], col=20, lin=4, sum=0;
char name[5][20];
clrscr();
gotoxy(25,2);
printf("Quiz Score");
gotoxy(3,2);
printf("Student Name");
for(x=0;x<=4;x++)
	{
	gotoxy(6,lin);
	gets(name[x]);
	for(y=0;y<=2;y++)
		{
		gotoxy(col,lin);
		scanf("%i",&score[x][y]);
		col=col+10;
		sum = sum + score[x][y];
		}
		gotoxy(col,lin);
		printf("%i",sum);
	lin=lin+2;
	col=15;
	}
getche();
}

output will be:

Student Name Quiz Score

jan 10 10 10 30

_ <<---- cursor will be here and it wont align with the 1st one....

the next one will suppose to enter another name and another 3 scores... can you help me with my program... had no idea now....


Thanks in advance

Why do you want to use gotoxy() ?

1) You don't need it, at all for this, as far as I can tell. In fact, it makes your code a bit more difficult to write.

2) gotoxy() is non-standard C nowadays. (Although Windows has a very similar function called SetConsoleCursorPosition() ).

Tell me what's up with using gotoxy(), and don't worry about the code, for now. We need to get in synch with this, first.

gets() <<===== Grrrrr!

fgets() <<=====

I'm sorry for that... we are required to use gotoxy() function to be able to align the names with their corresponding score in like a table form.. as what our teacher said so..

I'm not familiar with fgets yet but I will use it now....

I'm stuck with that gotoxy().... but it is required in our program... Thanks for the time Adak...

gotoxy() is fine, but it is NOT required to align columns correctly, in a table (usually). Only if you have to back up to a previous row or column, is gotoxy() needed. Naturally, we'll use gotoxy(), as the instructor wishes, regardless.

You're code is close, but lots of details in this assignment.

Back in a bit after I run your code.

I gave your code some tweaks.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
{
  int x, y, score, max_score, lin=4, col, sum;
  char name[2][20];

  clrscr();

  gotoxy(3,2);
  printf("Student Name         1     2     3     Total\n  ============================================\n");

  max_score = 0;
  col = 0;

  for(x=0;x<=4;x++)
  {
    gotoxy(5,15);
    printf("Student's Name is: ");
    //gets(name[0]);
    fgets(name[0], sizeof(name[0]), stdin);

    gotoxy(3,4+x);
    printf("%s", name[0]);
    col = 24;  //col = sizeof(name[0]) + left margin + spacer
    sum = 0;

    for(y=0;y<=2;y++)
    { 
      gotoxy(5,17);
      printf("Enter score [%d of 3] #%d: ", y+1, y+1);             
      scanf("%i",&score);
      gotoxy(col, 4+x);
      printf("%d", score);
      col = col + 6;
      sum = sum + score;
      gotoxy(5,17);
      printf("                            ");
    }  
    if(sum > max_score) {
       max_score = sum;
       //name[1] will always hold the highest scoring student's name
       strcpy(name[1], name[0]); 
    }
    name[0][0] = '\0';
    gotoxy(5,15);
    printf("                                          ");
    gotoxy(5,17);
    printf("                             ");
    gotoxy(col+2, x+4);
    printf("%d",sum);
    lin=lin+2;
    //col=15;
    score = getchar(); 
  } 
  gotoxy(5,17);
  printf("The highest scoring student is: %s", name[1]);        
  printf("\n With a score of: %d ", max_score);
  getche();
  return 0;
}

I didn't use a score array, because it wasn't needed - but of course, it could be done using a score array.

I would change your formatting options in your code editor, to make tabs into spaces (5 spaces is plenty), for this forum. Tabs, as tabs, don't work so well.
