Hello, I am trying to find a reason why my program doesn't work. It is the last challenge in chapter 9 from "C Programming for the Absolute beginner".
When I add a name, and want to print it later (using function printBook) my ptrC is always 0, although I am incrementing it in function addEntry? What I am doing wrong?
Thanks for helping
Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> typedef struct phonebook { char name[10]; int number; } pb; void printBook(pb *, int *); void addEntry(pb *, int *); main() { int counter = 0; pb pb1[5] = {0,0,0,0,0}; int iSelection; while ( iSelection != 3 ) { //system("clear"); printf("\n****Phone Book ****"); printf("\n\n1\tAdd new entry\n"); printf("2\tPrint out the book\n"); printf("3\tQuit\n"); scanf("%d", &iSelection); switch (iSelection) { case 1: addEntry(pb1, &counter); printf("\n%d", counter); break; case 2: printBook(pb1, &counter); break; } //end switch } //end loop printf("\nBye!\n"); } //end main void addEntry(pb * pb2, int *ptrC) { char name[10]; char *n; if ( *ptrC < 5){ printf("\nAdd a name: "); n = gets(name); gets(name); strcpy(pb2[*ptrC].name, n); printf("\n%s", pb2[*ptrC].name); printf("\n%d", *ptrC); //printf("\nAdd a number: "); //scanf("%d", pb2[*ptrC].number); *ptrC++; } // end if else printf("\nPhone book is full!"); } void printBook(pb * pb2, int *ptrC) { int x; if (*ptrC != 0 ) { for ( x = 0; x < *ptrC; x++) { printf("\nName: %s\n", pb2[x].name); printf("Number: %d\n", pb2[x].number); } //end loop } //end if else printf("\nNo entries!"); }
