Thread: Printing From A structure.

Okay, I made a basic program detailing departures from 2 airports.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int input;
struct Reno_Airport {
char FNewYork[60];
char FSacramento[60];
char FMontreal[60];
} Reno_Airport = {
"New York, 3:00",
"Sacramento, 1:23",
"Cancelled."
};

struct Copenhagen_Airport {
char FMoscow[60];
char FCairo[60];
} Copenhagen_Airport = {
"Moscow, 17:30",
"Cairo, 23:34",
};

main()
{
printf("Enter Airport: 1=Reno, 2=Copenhagen ");
scanf("%d",&input);
switch (input) {
case 1:
printf("Departures: %c, %c, %c",FNewYork, FSacramento, FMontreal);
break;
case 2:
printf("Departures: %c, %c",FMoscow, FCairo);
break;
}
}

By the way, I already tried putting in Reno_Airport.FNewYork instead of FNewYork, and the same for Sacramento and Montreal, as well as copenhagen for Moscow and Cairo, so that's not it. When I run it with the structure/variable name in front of the characters it just gives me strange characters as an output.

So, how do I get fields from structures and print them out?

I didn't know that a compiler could effectively compile this...

Like salem said, use %s instead of %c. %s are for string, %c are for char. See this if you want more information.

And actually, what you are trying to do is to read the value of the variable "FNewYork", which doesn't exist; in fact "FNewYork" is a MEMBER of a variable of type struct Reno_Airport.

Knowing you declared a variable name Reno_Airport of type struct Reno_Airport, what you should do is this

Code:

printf("Departures: %s, %s, %s",Reno_Airport.FNewYork, Reno_Airport.FSacramento, Reno_Airport.FMontreal);

Note that this apply to variable of type struct Copenhagen_Airport too.

Also, you should use local variables instead of globals one. Indentation wouldn't hurt too.
