Thread: database problem

Ok this program is supposed to small database for at least 5 people.
I thought i had it right when i compiled and built it had 0 errors, but when I ran it, it would skip over certain input fields and just go to the next. Then when it's supposed to print out the results in the end I get the wrong inputs.

Any help is appreciated.
TIA

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

main(void)

{
	
	int num;
	int count;
		
	struct people 
	{
		char full_name[50];
		int age;
		float weight;
		char state[2];
		char occupation[50];
	} person[50];
	
	printf("How many people would you like to include?\n");
	scanf("%d", &num);
	for(count = 0; count< num; count++)

{

	printf("Your full name\n");
	gets(person[count].full_name);
	
	printf("Your age\n");
	scanf("%d", &person[count].age);
	
	printf("Your weight\n");
	scanf("%f", &person[count].weight);
	
	printf("Your state\n");
	scanf("%c", &person[count].state);
	
	printf("Your occupation\n");
	gets(person[count].occupation);
	
}
	
	printf("These are your results:\n");

	for(count=0; count< num; count++)

{
		printf("%c\n", person[count].full_name);
		printf("%d\n", person[count].age);
		printf("%f\n", person[count].weight);
		printf("%c\n", person[count].state);
		printf("%c\n", person[count].occupation);
}

	return (0);

}

try not using gets ...

search in the bord for why it is bad.


use fgets with the file name "stdin"



good luck,,,

thanks i didn't know about the fflush command

and i changed the gets commands to scanf

and i changed the %c to %s so it works

thanks for the help
