struct struct struct problem....please....help!!!

[nullifyed]

I believe i am wrong in the two red points...is it right? also whats the problem?
thanks in advance....

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

struct Info{
	char name[81];  
	int phone;    
	char street[81];
	char email[81];
};


void print(struct Info info.name, struct Info info.phone, struct Info info.street, struct Info info.email){

			printf("Name: %s\n", info.name);
			printf("Phone Number: %d\n", info.phone);
			printf("Street address: %s\n", info.street);
			printf("E-mail: %s\n", info.email);
}


int main(void){
	FILE *infile;
	struct Info info;
	
		infile = fopen("file.txt","r");

		if(infile==NULL){
			printf("Error :(\n");
			exit(1);
		}
	
		while(fscanf(infile,"%s %d %s %s", info.name, &info.phone, info.street, info.email)!=EOF){
			print(info.name, info.phone, info.street, info.email);	
		}
	
	return 0;
}

Try something simpler:

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

struct Info{
	char name[81];  
	int phone;    
	char street[81];
	char email[81];
};


void print(struct Info info){

			printf("Name: %s\n", info.name);
			printf("Phone Number: %d\n", info.phone);
			printf("Street address: %s\n", info.street);
			printf("E-mail: %s\n", info.email);
}


int main(void){
	FILE *infile;
	struct Info info = {"Buzz Lightyear", 12345, "Infinity Way", "[email protected]" };
	
		/*infile = fopen("file.txt","r");

		if(infile==NULL){
			printf("Error :(\n");
			exit(1);
		}
	
		while(fscanf(infile,"%s %d %s %s", info.name, &info.phone, info.street, info.email)!=EOF){
    */
			print(info);	
		//}
	
	return 0;
}

The way you're trying to do things more or less defeats the purpose of a struct. Why would you bother putting it all together if you always had to deal with the struct members individually? It'd be useful as a sort of namespace, but that's about it.

Thankfully, C's not like that:

#include <stdio.h>
struct info
{
  int a, b, c;
};
void f(struct info info)
{
  printf("%d %d %d\n", info.a, info.b, info.c);
}
int main(void)
{
  struct info info = { 10, 20, 30 };
  f(info);
  return 0;
}

You can just pass a struct around; you needn't try to pass each individual member.

You'll probably want to pass a pointer around instead of the struct itself (this becomes more relevant the larger your struct gets):

#include <stdio.h>
struct info
{
  int a, b, c;
};
void f(struct info *info)
{
  printf("%d %d %d\n", info->a, info->b, info->c);
}
int main(void)
{
  struct info info = { 10, 20, 30 };
  f(&info);
}

x->y is the same as (*x).y; that is, dereference a struct (or union) pointer and then access a member.

void print(struct Info info.name, struct Info info.phone, struct Info info.street, struct Info info.email){


You're passing in info.name, which is a char array
it should be

void print(char[] name, .......){
   printf(name......);
   ....
   ...
}

you're don't understand how to pass parameters? it's the same as in Java or any other language

you are right. i don' t...C is my first language and that is why i make these mistakes...i don' t know if C is a bit difficult but i don' t know another language yet!

Don't feel bad passing function parameters can be a bit tricky. I am new as well and have to really think carefully what is being passed and how. I found this link to be helpful

Passing Arguments to Function

Also there is a really good set of videos for beginning C that goes through parameter passing functions and structs (this is where I learned if from) you can find it here:

CSE 142 TVI - Lectures, Autumn 2000

If you use the url the slides are synced to the video lecture.

I hope this will help you out some.
