Thread: I need help, and you guys are the only ones I can think of

Need help with my code, I wrote comments and such on what I need and stuff.... I really need help badly, please become my hero.

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <string.h>


typedef struct {
	char name[100];
	int scores[7];
}STUDENT;

// function declarations
void getFileName(char *filename);
int howManyLines(char *filename);
void readFileIntoArray(char *filename, STUDENT students[], int *size);
void getStats(STUDENT students[], int size);

int main(void) {
	char filename[30];
	STUDENT *students;
	int size;

	getFileName(filename); // finished

	students = malloc( (howManyLines(filename)+1) * sizeof(STUDENT)); // finished

	readFileIntoArray(filename, students, &size); // i have to finish this function

	getStats(students, size); // i have to finish this function

	return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

/*
 * This function goes through the student array and prints out who scored highest
 * on each of the seven assignments. If there is a tie, print out all the students
 * who tied for the highest score.
 *
 * size is the size of the array.
 *
 * You can use fmax in the math.h library if you want.
 */

// this function i do not have a clue on how to do this, but know what i want from it.... i need help
void getStats(STUDENT students[], int size){
	int i, hold_score, same_score, x;
	char hold_name, same_name1, same_name2;
	i = 0;
	for(i = 0; i < size; i++)
	{
		if(students[i].scores > students[i-1].scores)
		{
			x = i;
			hold_score = students[i].scores;
			strcpy(hold_name, students[i].name);
			printf("The student named, &#37;s, had the highest score on assignment%d, which was a %d", students[i].name, x, hold_score);
		}
		else if( (hold_score == students[i-1].scores) && (hold_name != students[i-1].name) )
		{
			same_score = students[i].scores;
			strcpy(same_name1, hold_name);
			strcpy(same_name2, students[i-1].name);
			printf("Both these students, %s and %s, both had the highest score on assignment%d, which was a %d", hold_name, same_name1, x, same_score);
		}
	}
}


/*
 * opens file named filename
 *
 * read from the file while fscanf returns something != EOF  <- end of file
 *
 * for each struct in the array:
 *   reads students names into struct
 *   reads the 7 scores into struct
 * counts the structs and puts the result into *size.
 *
 * The lines in the file come in this form:
 * Wallace, Christine (userid) | studentid int1 int2 int3 int4 int5 int6 int7
 *
 * for extra credit your code should also handle lines like this:
 * Mc Donald, Ronald (userid) | studentid int1 int2 int3 int4 int5 int6 int7
 *
 * In other words, some last names may have 2 strings. But they will always end in ,
 *
 * In either case, this function concatenates lastName, firstName (use strcat) and
 * stores the resulting string in the name member of the STUDENT struct.
 * Throw away the user id, |, and the student id. Don't store them anywhere in the struct.
