HELP! Strucutres!!

[akemi.kanegae]

I have this assignment, and the teacher said that it is open internet, open book, etc. I cannot figure out how to do the last part!

1.Create an array that contains ten (10) variables of the following type:

insert

typedef struct {
    char firstName[30];
    char lastName[30];
    char street[35];
    char city[20];
    char state[3];
    int zip;
    char phone[15];
    int accountId;
} Customer;

2.
Prompt the user for values for each of the variables in each structure, i.e. you will be asking for 10 firstName values, 10 lastName values, and so forth. Hint: You should think about creating a function to input values for a structure, and then create a loop to call this function 10 times.

3.
After all of the values for the structure variables have been input, you need to prompt the user for a state string, and then display the values of all variables in each structure where the state string matches the user's input. Hint: You should think about creating a function to print all of the values for a structure, and then call the function for those structures that meet your criteria.

You can assume that the user always enters proper data - no input validation is required.

This is what I have so far:

insert

#include <math.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
#include <string.h>  
#define SIZE 2 

typedef struct {
    char firstName[30];
    char lastName[30];
    char street[35];
    char city[20];
    char state[3];
    int zip[8];
    char phone[15];
    int accountId;
} Customer;

int main()
{

Customer customer[10];
int x;
for (x = 0; x < 10; x++) {

          printf("Enter Data For Customer %d", x);
          printf("\n");


          printf("Enter First, Last, Phone: ");
          fgets(customer[x].firstName,10,stdin);  
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].firstName) - 1;
          customer[x].firstName[customer[x].accountId] = '\0'; 

          fgets(customer[x].lastName,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].lastName) - 1;
          customer[x].lastName[customer[x].accountId] = '\0';

          fgets(customer[x].phone,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].phone) - 1;
          customer[x].phone[customer[x].accountId] = '\0';

          printf("Enter Address (Street, City, State, Zip): ");

          fgets(customer[x].street,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].street) - 1;
          customer[x].street[customer[x].accountId] = '\0';  

          fgets(customer[x].city,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].city) - 1;
          customer[x].city[customer[x].accountId] = '\0'; 

          fgets(customer[x].state,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].state) - 1;
          customer[x].state[customer[x].accountId] = '\0'; 

          fgets(customer[x].zip,10,stdin); 
          customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].zip) - 1;
          customer[x].zip[customer[x].accountId] = '\0';  
     }


     system("pause");
     return 0;

}

I just cant figure out how to do the last question!! Please HELP ME!!! I need help with question 3!!!

Pay attention with fgets:
-Fgets automatically add the terminating null char after reading maximum N-1 chars.
-Fgets returns a char*(or NULL) so you can't call it with an int variable (zip)
-why do you specify 10 as number of maximum char to be read when firstName is an array of 30 char, state of 3 etc?
Give a look here fgets - C++ Reference


About the 3 point you can use strcmp - C++ Reference

Hello,
When you solve problems that root wrote, i would strongly recommend to use function in this program (you also get that hint in the assignment ). I would give you a idea how do it

Customer function (Customer x)
{
    printf("Enter Name:")
    fgets(x.firstName,10,stdin); 
      // and so on //
     return x; // when you finished the function

Do you know the difference between C and C++?
This is C, so it would benefit everyone if you would post questions regarding this language in the C section in the future.
