I am currently working on a new c language project that is supposed to deal with structures and linked lists. A description of the end program is listed below...
Load a set of student records from a file into a linked list structure
Sort the data structure by last name then the first name and print out to another file
The first line of the opened file will tell how many students there are in the list
Decide the appropriate data type and size based on the test data
Include a main program file, c program with maintenance functions, and a header file
I have recently started working on this and have not put in all of the parts just yet. As of right now I have a c program with the function, main function, and a header file. The problem that I am having right now is in the c program with functions. I am currently working on loading the file and sorting the file....
The error messages for the loading are as follows:
incompatible pointer type for fscanf
student undeclared
too few arguements for fgets
The error messages for the sorting are as follows:
fprintf from incompatible pointer type
I understand that the code that I have written is wrong, but I am not sure how I would go about scanning in the list from the opened file as well as sorting through the data. If anyone would have any ideas about how I could possibly go about doing this, it would be definately appreciated. Thanks!
Header File
Code:typedef struct Student //Defines Structure { char first_name[40]; //First Name char last_name[40]; //Last Name char street[20]; //Street Name char city[20]; //City Name char state[2]; //State Initials int zipcode; //Zipcode int hours; //Number of hours int feespaid; //Fees Paid struct Student *next; //Points to the next } StudentLink; StudentLink * createNode(int x); //Creates New Student void LoadStudent(StudentLink *root); //Loads set of student records void SortStudent(StudentLink *root); //Sorts through the student records void PrintStudent(StudentLink *root); //Prints out the records void DeleteStudent(StudentLink *root); //Prototype Function: Deletes Records
