Thread: Help Me 'sort' This Out

Code:

	struct tuple
{
	char make[50];
	char model[50];
	char size[50];
	char year[50];
	char plate[30];
};


void sort(struct tuple * aDB)
{
	int j;

	FILE *myDB;
	system("cls");
	myDB = fopen ("cardata.csv", "r");
	char sortdata[MAX*5];


		for(j=0;j<MAX;j++)
		{
		char sortdata[(j*5)+0] = aDB->make;
		char sortdata[(j*5)+1] = aDB->model;
		char sortdata[(j*5)+2] = aDB->size;
		char sortdata[(j*5)+3] = aDB->year;
		char sortdata[(j*5)+4] = aDB->plate;
		aDB++
		}


		{

	fclose (myDB);

	for (int k=0;k<MAX;k++)

		{
			printf("%s", sortdata[k]);
		}

	getch();
	main();


}

Can you please take a look and help me solve this, im trying to sort these so that the program looking into my file, reads whats in there so that it can compare to the next entry and compare a field with that.

i kno i have not put in the swap method but im trying to solve this so that i can move to the next stage.

thank you for your time

the problem lies, when i try to coompile this code with my work.

it asks for a bracket '{' in the first line. but ibviously i cannot do this as the line has not finished.

can someone direct where i need to start changing it about, its a simple mistake but not for me lol.

please reply soon.

by the way, becasue this is a piece of code, that is why it dont have main.

so which line is that does that ask you for an '{'. i dnt really find any missing {. put i found one this

Code:

{

	fclose (myDB);

	for (int k=0;k<MAX;k++)

		{
			printf("%s", sortdata[k]);
		}

	getch();
	main();

what are trying to do here. this is a incomplete code. in theabove code u have one open braces and u dont close it any where. and i guess u are using main(); at end to return back to the main fucntion where the fucntion was called dont use main(); use return keywork which takes back u to the main fucntion.

How about starting with three functions
1. reads the file, and stores it in an array of struct tuple
2. sorts the array
3. prints the array - use this to check the reading and the sorting.

Eg, in this order
read
print
sort
print
