Thread: hit a wall

I am writing a program that is supposed to read info from a file clock.txt that has the number of employees then a name and then payrate and then another name and payrate. I have a struct

Code:

struct employee {
       char* first[MAX_LEN];
       char* last [MAX_LEN];
       double payperhr;
       double taxes;
       double hours_in_week;
                };

the information im suppose to read in is
2
john slacker 5.15
jane worker 10

now i have

Code:

void scanclock(struct employee a){
     
   int i;
   int week, employee_day;
   double minin,hrin;
   double minout,hrout;
   int num_employee;
   FILE* fp;
    
 fp = fopen("clock.txt", "r");
 
 fscanf(fp, "%d", num_employee);
 
 for(i=0; i<=num_employee; i++)
    {
 fscanf(fp, "%s%s%d", &a.first[i], &a.last[i], &a.payperhr);
 
    }
 fscanf(fp, "%d", &week);
 
 for(i=1; i<=week; i++)
    {
      fscanf(fp, "%d", &employee_day);
      fscanf(fp, "lf%lf%lf%lf", &minin, &hrin, &minout, &hrout); 
    }
    
fclose(fp);

I wanted to see if this either looks ok... and does it seem like im going down the right path? a.payperhr does that need to be strcpy and.... and should i keep it in a function or possibly better to do this in int main?

ahh ok thanks.. does any one know what would the basic format of sending a structure though a fucntion be? kinda as in the case above but not really important more for just trying to see another example.
