look_up function

[egomaster69]

can someone figure out why this function is not working. It keeps printing out the LAST NAME "Mikihl", and its supposed to print out the FIRST NAME of the number that matches.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanx

void main (void)

 char name[25];
 int entry_number;
 int entries = 5;
 int look_up(personal employee[], char empsearch[], int entries);
	
	printf(" Enter Last name of Employee:  ");
	scanf ("%9s", name);

		if (entry_number != -1)
			printf ("%s\n",employee[entry_number].F_name);
		else
			printf("Sorry, that employee doesn't work here!\n");

}

and the function...

int look_up(char empsearch[] , personal employee[],int entries)
{
	int i;
	
	for (i = 0; i<entries; i++)
		if (myStrCmp (empsearch, employee[i].L_name))
			return (i);

	return (-1);
}

and the structures...

typedef struct
{
 short ID_Number;
 char F_name[25];
 char L_name[25]; 
 gender gender;
 int salary;
 DOB birth;
 address stuff;
} personal;

Hello,

Let's take a close look:

{0,{"Mikhil"},{"Peter"},

First is ID_Number, second is First name, and third is Last name according to your structure:

typedef struct {
	short ID_Number;
	char F_name[25];
	char L_name[25];

If that makes sense either reverse the two in your structure, or reverse the initialization sequence.

Look at your initalization:

{0,{"Mikhil"},{"Peter"},

Given the structure:

 short ID_Number;
 char F_name[25];
 char L_name[25];

The last name of "Mikhil" is being put into the first name spot and "Peter" is being put into the last name spot.

Swap these:

char F_name[25];
char L_name[25];

Or these:

{"Mikhil"},{"Peter"}

Stupid me, I should of figured that out on my own.
