Thread: making functions, need help

I need to make a function that asks for user input and prints it. I need to display name, hours worked, and hourly rate. It is not working and I do not know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help?
I wrote this function:

Code:

int employeedata(char* ch, float* x, float *y)
{
	printf("Enter your name:\n");
	scanf_s("%s", *ch);
	printf("Enter your hourly rate:\n");
	scanf_s("%f", *x);
	printf("Enter number of hours worked:\n");
	scanf_s("%f", *y);
}

and then I call it in main:

Code:

int main()
{
float rate[5], hours[5];
	float overtimerate = 1.5;
	char name[5][20];


	int loop;


	
	for (loop = 0; loop < 5; loop++)
	{
		
		employeedata(&name[loop], &rate[loop], &hours[loop]);
}
	system("pause");
		return 0;
	}

scanf expects the address but you are giving is the value. And the first parameter in employeedata function should be name[loop].

Sorry, I am a complete beginner so I am not so great at this yet. How do I give scanf the address then? I thought I was doing that by using *ch because it's a pointer, or is it, am I doing pointers wrong?
