Thread: simple payroll need help here

ok i've created the prototype program of a payroll system the problem is i don't know how it would write something into a file and load it again i've attached my code here since i dont know anything about the command and what to do on how to write in to a file

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#define p printf
#define g gotoxy
#define s scanf
main()
{
int emp;
char name[16],sel,choice;
float OH,HpW,BR,OT,GP,OM,mpW,HR,OTM,ToT,HWW,ompW;


	clrscr();




	p("Enter Employee Code : ");s("%d",&emp);
	p("\nEnter Employee Name : ");s("%s",&name);
	p("\nEnter Total Overtime Hours : ");s("%f",&OH);
	p("\nEnter Total Overtime Minutes : ");s("%f",&OM);
	p("\nEnter Total Hours of Work/Week : ");s("%f",&HpW);
	p("\nEnter Total minutes of Work/Week : ");s("%f",&mpW);
	if(emp==1)
	{BR=380;}
	if(emp==2)
	{BR=450;}
	if(emp==3)
	{BR=550;}
	HR=BR/8;
	OTM=OM/60;
	ompW=mpW/60;
	OT=HR*1.1*OH;
	HWW=ompW+mpW;
	ToT=OTM+OH;
	GP=HR*HWW+ToT;
	clrscr();
	switch(emp)
	{
	 case 1:
		{
			p("\nEmployee Code: Waiter\n");
			p("\nEmployee Name: %s\n",name);
			p("\nGross Pay: %f\n",GP);
			break;
		}

	 case 2:
		{
			p("\nEmployee Code: Cashier\n");
			p("\nEmployee Name: %s\n",name);
			p("\nGross Pay: %f\n",GP);
			break;
		}

	 case 3:
		{
			p("\nEmployee Code: Manager\n");
			p("\nEmployee Name: %s\n",name);
			p("\nGross Pay: %f\n",GP);
			break;
		}
	}
	getch();
	return 0;


}

What do you think this is supposed to mean to someone else?

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

Another wayward program development.

BEFORE you put in all these gotoxy code, and hard code the display, be sure you have the guts of your program working correctly, (very correctly).

For instance, I can't run your program, because my console window only has 25 lines vertical. Your program needs 48+, which is *way* more than you need for a simple database text based, program. Also, it's a PITA to step through code that is full of gotoxy lines of code and delay(). WHY do you have line after line of delay for a database program???

Usually fprintf() is used to write data to a file, and fgets() or fscanf() is used to retrieve that data from the file. Look at the file threads now active on the forum for examples of writing to, or reading from, a file. Both are shown.
