Struct halp.. :p

[sourpatchkid]

I have just finished more than half of my assignment for school. But i am completely stumped on the second problem.
But now i need to prompt the user for the state string.

So far i have this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define SIZE 2
#define PERSN_SZE 9


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;


int main()
{
    Customer customer[SIZE];
    int i;
    for ( i = 0; i < 9; i++)
    {
        customer[i].accountId = i + 1;
        printf("\nEnter Data for Customer %d", i + 1);
        printf("\nEnter First Last Phone: ");
        scanf("%s %s %s", customer[i].firstName, customer[i].lastName, customer[i].phone);
        printf("\nEnter Address (Street City State ZIP): ");
        scanf("%s %s %s %d", customer[i].street, customer[i].city, customer[i].state, &customer[i].zip);
    }
    for ( i = 0; i < 9; i++)
    {
        printf("=============================================================\n");
        printf("\nData for Customer %d\n", customer[i].accountId);
        printf("Account: %d\n", customer[i].accountId);
        printf("Name: %s %s\n", customer[i].firstName, customer[i].lastName);
        printf("Addr: %s %s %s %d\n", customer[i].street, customer[i].city, customer[i].state, customer[i].zip);
        printf("Phone: %s\n", customer[i].phone);
    }
    system("pause");
}

When you compile and enter the inputs it looks like this.
Enter Data for Customer 0
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Oregon 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland OR 12345


Enter Data for Customer 1
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Washington 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland WA 12345


Enter Data for Customer 2
Enter First Last Phone: Doug California 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland CA 12345


Enter Data for Customer 3
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Nevada 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland NV 12345


Enter Data for Customer 4
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Colorado 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland CO 12345


Enter Data for Customer 5
Enter First Last Phone: Another Colorado 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland CO 12345


Enter Data for Customer 6
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Arizona 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland AZ 12345


Enter Data for Customer 7
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Florida 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland FL 12345


Enter Data for Customer 8
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Georgia 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland GA 12345


Enter Data for Customer 9
Enter First Last Phone: Doug Jones 123-456-7890
Enter Address (Street City State ZIP): Main Portland CO 12345
But now i need to prompt the user for the state string. Which should give me output like this:
Enter 2-character state code: CO
Data for Customer 4
Account: 4
Name: Doug Colorado
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890


Data for Customer 5
Account: 5
Name: Another Colorado
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890


Data for Customer 9
Account: 9
Name: Doug Jones
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890

So, it's just a for loop through your array, and printing out all the entries where
strcmp( customer[i].state, "CO") returns 0.

You are correct about the for loop.
But "CO" was actually an example of the user inputting the state, and then my program searching through all the other user input for it. Is there a function that can do that?
Within <string.h>

So, you already know how to read strings into variables (char arrays).

Just declare a string (say char stateToSearchFor[10]) and use it.

[sourpatchkid]

Do i use that to compare to the other char arrays?

You've already demonstrated knowledge of arrays, for loops and scanf.

The only remaining thing is strcmp, which is in string.h (again, you know this).

All that remains is for you to pull it together.

> for ( i = 0; i < 9; i++)
And this should be
for ( i = 0; i < SIZE; i++)
to match your array size.
