Rob


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX 100
/* size of structure array */

typedef struct {
char name[ 20 ];
char phone [ 15 ];
char studentid [ 15 ];


} customerData;

void bubblesort(customerData[]);

int main()
{
customerData customer[MAX];
customerData hold;
int i, pass, element;
char targetName[ 20 ];
int s;

printf("Enter students records (names and phone no.).\n");
printf("\nThey will then be sorted by names.\n\n");



while ( s != 0)
{

printf( "\nEnter customer lastname Then First name (E.g. Jones John): ");
gets ( customer[i].name );
printf( "\nEnter phone number: " );
gets( customer[i].phone );
printf( "\nEnter Student ID: ");
gets( customer[i].studentid);
printf( "With to enter anymore?(1 for YES, 0 for NO)\n ");
scanf("%d", &s);
}

}

Try using a do/while loop here:

Code:

do

{





}while (s != 0);

Mr. C.

do
{

printf( "\nEnter customer lastname Then First name (E.g. Jones John): ");
gets ( customer[i].name );
printf( "\nEnter phone number: " );
gets( customer[i].phone );
printf( "\nEnter Student ID: ");
gets( customer[i].studentid);
printf( "With to enter anymore?(1 for YES, 0 for NO)\n ");
scanf("%d", &s);
} while (s != 0);

}

If Written this but still i have the same problem?
any other suggestions?

Add "fflush(stdin);" after scanf(). Then the [Enter] should not be processed twice any more.
