Stuck with coding while Senior Project Due!!!!

[kuro_ng]

Hey guys, I'm an electrical engineering student who was forced to take CS1 class in order to graduate cause my school doesn't provide elective class on Summer. However I took C programing for like 2,3 years ago. I forgot most of it for lack of practicing. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me out.
Here is what I got so far.. I"m stuck with syntax problem. "expected unqualified-id before numeric constant. Really Really appreciate if you guy help me out. Thanks..

I attached the assignment document.

Never put an ";" semicolon in a define statement.
I would also not start them (define macro) with a number.

// Stores information for the KnightsBallLottoPlayer 
typedef struct KnightsBallLottoPlayer {
        char firstName[20];
        char lastName[20];
        int numbers[6];
        } KBLottoPlayer;

struct KnightsBallLottoPlayer KBLottoPlayer[tickets];

Do NOT reuse the identifier KBLottoPlayer twice for two different things.

Move the first line of real code "fopen" and "fscanf" after the variable section (required by some C Compilers).

fscanf(infile, "%d", &tickets);

Thanks Tim for the help. I've change my code using malloc instead. Still have the error

Valid identifier does not start with number.

Thanks Bayint Naung. I change it to enum so it would be fine with the define thing. However I still getting the error after all

You are most likely getting the error on this line:

int winners [6];

Notice the space between winners and the array size.

[laserlight]

You should indent your code and tell us what is the exact error, including which line was indicated by the compiler.

Notice the space between winners and the array size.

Whitespace is not significant in this context, so if the compiler reports an error, you can report a real live compiler bug.

[Salem]

What happened to your indentation?

[Bayint Naung]

OP: post compiler error and post your code with line number!

[Salem]

I wonder if it's because they copy/pasted some pre-crafted answer from another forum?

There are several places where google found it, say
Stuck with coding while Senior Project Due!!!!

[kuro_ng]

@claudiu: thanks for the help. but it is ok with the space though
@laserlight and Bayint sorry I forgot about it:
@Salem: enum is a same way to do that
I post 2 place to get more help. here and codecall. I dont copy and paste. I've try to do this since 2 days a go... sorry for multiple posts.
this is the code
I got error at line 52 "fscanf(infile, "%s", KBLottoPlayer[i].lastName);"

with syntax error: invalid type "int[int]' for array subscript

[CommonTater]

You've defined a struct KBLottoPlayer but in your code KBLottoPlayer is an integer... not a struct.

You need to allocate actual space for the structs...

KBLottoPlayer *Players = calloc(100,sizeof(KBLottoPlayers));

Now you can use Players[index]->firstName etc in your code.

[claudiu]

Yes, taking a second look at it now, this looks so fake and stolen it is not even worth my time; and posting on more than one forum doesn't get you MORE help but LESS help, it just wastes MORE time for MORE people.

[kuro_ng]

So we use calloc instead of malloc? I went to TA at school, he suggest me change to malloc but say nothing but general thing. I've been reviewed these stuff straight up couple days o_O. Thanks.

[kuro_ng]

claudiu: if you look at the username: kuro_ng. it is me!!!
