Thread: Structures in C

Im having problems with segmentation faults and I also need help with case 3 deleting a ship from the array thx for the help.

Code:

#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

typedef struct
{
char name[25];
char ship_type; //‘T’ = tanker ‘S’ = schooner ‘Y’ = yacht
int hostages;
float shipValue;
float ransomeDemand;
}VESSEL;

int main(){
char searchName[25];
int ShipsCaptured,i,input,c,j,searchCount=0,size=0;

int MAX =500;
VESSEL *vess;
vess=(VESSEL*)calloc(MAX,sizeof(VESSEL));
i=0;
while(strcmp(vess[i].name,"RUM")!=0){
   printf("Name of ship ");
   scanf("%s",&vess[i].name);
if(strcmp(vess[i].name,"RUM")!=0){
   printf("Type of ship either a 'T' for tanker 'S' for schooner or 'Y' for yacht ");
   scanf("%s",&vess[i].ship_type);

   printf("Number of Hostages ");
   scanf("%d",&vess[i].hostages);

   printf("Ship Value ");
   scanf("%f",&vess[i].shipValue);

   printf("Ransom Demanded ");
   scanf("%f",&vess[i].ransomeDemand);
    i++;
    size++;
    }
   }
while(input!=5){
printf("Type 1 to see a captured ships data\n2 add a ship\n3 remove a ship\n4 generatereport\n5 exit");

scanf("\n%d",&input);

switch(input)
{
   case 1: 
   printf("Please enter ship name you wish to search: ");
            scanf("%s",&searchName);

            for(j=0;j<size;j++)
            {
                if(strcmp(vess[j].name,searchName)==0)
                {
                    printf("\n%s\nName: %s\nShip Type: %d\nHostages: %.2f\nShip Value: %.2f Ransome Demanded\n\n",vess[j].name,vess[j].ship_type,vess[j].hostages,vess[j].shipValue,vess[j].ransomeDemand);
                searchCount++;
                }
            }
            if(searchCount==0)
            {
                printf("Invalid Ship Name\n");
            }
            break;




   case 2: for(c=0;c<10;c++){
   printf("Name of ship");
   scanf("%s",&vess[c].name);
   printf("Type of ship either a T for tanker S for schooner or Y for yacht");
   scanf("%s",&vess[c].ship_type);
   printf("Number of Hostages");
   scanf("%d",&vess[c].hostages);
   printf("Ship Value");
   scanf("%f",&vess[c].shipValue);
   printf("Ransom Demanded");
   scanf("%f",&vess[c].ransomeDemand);
   printf("congrats you added a ship");
  }
   break;
   case 3:
   printf("Please enter ship name you wish to delete: ");
            scanf("%s",&searchName);

   for(j=0;j<size;j++)
            {
                if(strcmp(vess[j].name,searchName)==0)
                {
           //vess[j].name="";
           size--;
                }
            }
            if(searchCount==0)
            {
                printf("Invalid ship Name\n");
            }
            break;

   case 4:for(j=0;j<size;j++)
            {
        printf("\n%s\nName: %s\nShip Type: %d\nHostages: %.2f\nShip Value: %.2f Ransome Demanded\n\n",vess[j].name,vess[j].ship_type,vess[j].hostages,vess[j].shipValue,vess[j].ransomeDemand);
        }
    break;

  

}
}
return 0;

}

That seemed to be the problem thx for the help
