need help with finding problems with this code

#include<stdio.h>
#pragma once
#include<fstream.h>
#pragma once






int createnew( char u[12], char p[12] );
int check( char u[12], char p[12] );


main(int argc, char *argv[]){
	/* argv[0] mode argv[1] user argv[2] password*/
	char user[]=argv[1];
char password[]=argv[2];	
	
	
	if( argv[0] == 'n'){
		createnew( user , password );
	}

	else if( argv[0] == 'c'){
		check( user , password );
	}

	return 0;
}


check( char u[12] , char p[12] ){
	FILE *fp;
	char password[12];
    char filename[16] = u[];
	strcat(filename,".txt");
	fp=fopen(filename, "rb");
	if(p == fp){
		printf("true");
	return 0;
	}

	else if(p != fp){
		printf("false");
	return 0;
	}
}




	






createnew( char u[12] , char p[12] ){
	char filename[16] = u[];
	strcat(filename,".txt");
	ofstream datafile(filename, ios::binary);
	datafile.write( (char *) &p, sizeof p);
}

here is the warnings the compiler gives me

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(17) : error C2075: 'user' : array initialization needs curly braces
C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(18) : error C2075: 'password' : array initialization needs curly braces

You can't assign the CL parameters like that. If you're going to have arrays without specifying the number of elements, you need to declare them dynamically, and you can't use the = to assing strings, unless you overload it. You need to set up a couple of for loops and do the assignment on a char by char basis.

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(21) : warning C4047: '==' : 'char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'const int '
C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(25) : warning C4047: '==' : 'char *' differs in levels of indirection from 'const int '

You should be dereferencing the pointers before using then like that.

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(36) : error C2059: syntax error : ']'

Again, you can't assign arrays like that.

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(37) : warning C4013: 'strcat' undefined; assuming extern returning int

You need to include the header for that

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(39) : warning C4133: '==' : incompatible types - from 'struct _iobuf *' to 'char *'
C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(44) : warning C4133: '!=' : incompatible types - from 'struct _iobuf *' to 'char *'

You just need to be more careful with your data types. You need to either typecast or learn more about the API to do everything manually. I would recommend the latter.

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(61) : error C2059: syntax error : ']'

You've seen this before

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : error C2065: 'ofstream' : undeclared identifier

Once again, you need to include the header for this class

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'datafile'

You're missing the ';'

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : warning C4013: 'datafile' undefined; assuming extern returning int

This is just a side effect of all your other errors and the fact that they are causing other lines of code not to execute

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : error C2065: 'ios' : undeclared identifier

Header files again

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before ':'
C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(63) : error C2059: syntax error : ')'

You just need to look for typos

C:\Programs\login\login\login.c(64) : error C2224: left of '.write' must have

struct/union type

Another side effect

How to Debug

The compiler will always tell you the type of error (syntax, etc...), the line number on which it occurs (the number in parentheses), a description of the error that occurred, and a unique number that identifies the error. By looking at the line number and descriptions you should be able to see a problem in your code. If not, you need to look at the documentation for your compiler and find the error ID numbers - there you will find a more detailed description of what went wrong and maybe even a suggestion of how to fix it.
