Thread: inputting data in a struct

i have some problems inputting data in a struct

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>
void input(patient *p, int nr, char cpr, char ankomst, char skade); 

typedef struct patient 
{
	int nr;
	char cpr[10];
	char ankomst;
	char skade;
} patient;
patient p[1000]; 
int patientnr = 0;

int main()
{

        char tempCpr[10] = "02020202";
	char tempAnkomst[1] =  "A"; 
	char tempSkade[1] = "B"; 

input(&p[patientnr], tempCpr, tempAnkomst, tempSkade);

}

void input(patient *p, int nr, char cpr, char ankomst, char skade)
{
	p->nr = nr;
	p->cpr = cpr;
	p->ankomst = ankomst2;
	p->skade = skade;
}

forgot to add something.. read this code instead

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <unistd.h>
void input(patient *p, int nr, char cpr, char ankomst, char skade); 

typedef struct patient 
{
	int nr;
	char cpr[10];
	char ankomst;
	char skade;
} patient;
patient p[1000]; 
int patientnr = 0;
void get(patient *p);

int main()
{

        char tempCpr[10] = "02020202";
	char tempAnkomst[1] =  "A"; 
	char tempSkade[1] = "B"; 

input(&p[patientnr], tempCpr, tempAnkomst, tempSkade);
get(&p[patientnr]);

}

void input(patient *p, int nr, char cpr, char ankomst, char skade)
{
	p->nr = nr;
	p->cpr = cpr;
	p->ankomst = ankomst2;
	p->skade = skade;
}

void get(patient *p)
{	
	

	
	char cpr[10];
	char ankomst3[1];
	char skade2[1];
	cpr = p->cpr;
	ankomst3 = p->ankomst;
	skade2 = p->skade;
	
	printf("\n %c\n", cpr);
	printf("\n %c\n", ankomst3);
	printf("\n %s\n", skade2);
}

it says incompatible types in assignment
for these three lines
cpr = p->cpr;
ankomst3 = p->ankomst;
skade2 = p->skade;

well, i have seen this type code use by many people.

Code:

char tempAnkomst[1] =  "A"; 
char tempSkade[1] = "B";

why do u need a string to just store a one char. why cant u declare just a single char varibale. instead of declaring string and wasting the memeory and getting the error invalid assignmnet. the whole programe what u have done is just fine. rather than this part. i strongly recommand people not to use this type of method to just store a char. if this is method thought by the lecture just ignore it. instead use this

Code:

char tempAnkomst = 'A'; 
char tempSkade = 'B';

in your case raja. u have done it right in the skeleton of your struct. but atleast from that, u could have understood what the error is. your struct

Code:

int nr;
char cpr[10];
char ankomst;
char skade;
} patient;

is the bolded code is string or a char. if its char how can u assign a char pointer to a charr.

think about that.
