As of right now I have my code reading from a .txt file with peoples names & there six chosen lottery numbers.
My code ask for the file, and the winning numbers and stores the winning numbers in an array called win_nums.
Here is where I need help. I now need to compare the winning numbers with all the peoples numbers in the .txt file. There will be someone who matches 3 numbers, 4 numbers, 5 numbers, and all 6. If someone matches with 3 they win $10 & the program prints out "first last matched 3 numbers and won $10.", 4 matches $100, 5 matches $10000, & 6 $1000000.
If someone could help me with the code it would be greatly appreciated it.
Here is my code as of now:
Code:#include <stdio.h> typedef struct { char last[25]; char first[25]; int player_nums[6]; }LOTTO, *LPLOTTO; int main() { //initialize variables. char input[50]; int index, win_nums[6]; //prompt user for file. printf("Enter the name of the file with the ticket data:\n"); scanf("%s", input); printf("\n"); //prompt user for winning lottery numbers. printf("Enter the winning Lottery numbers:\n"); for (index=0; index < 6; index++) scanf("%d", &win_nums[index]); printf("\n"); //Record tickets from file. int num_tix, i, j; LPLOTTO people; FILE *ifp = fopen(input, "r"); if (ifp==0) return -1; fscanf(ifp,"%d",&num_tix); people = (LPLOTTO)malloc(sizeof(LOTTO)*num_tix); for (i=0; i<num_tix; i++) { fscanf(ifp, "%s %s", people[i].last, people[i].first); for (j=0;j<6;j++) fscanf(ifp, "%d", people[i].player_nums+j); } //close users file. fclose(ifp); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }
Thank you very much!
