Can Someone Tell Me What's Wrong With This?

[Oral B]

Hey, I'm trying to run this code:

#include <stdlib.h>

struct database {
  int id_number;
  int age;
  int salary;
};
int main()
{
    struct database john;  
  john.age = 19;
  john.id_number = 33033;
  john.salary = 80000;
  
   struct database haley;  
  haley.age = 18;
  haley.id_number = 34921;
  haley.salary = 21000;
  
   int input;
    
    printf( "Please Enter The I.D. Number Of Employee To View Info: \n" );
    scanf( "&d", &input );
    
    switch ( input )
    {   
    case 33033:       
printf( " \n" );
printf( "Employee's name is John. \n");
printf( "John's age is: %d \n", john.age );
printf( "John's ID is is: %d \n", john.id_number );
printf( "John's salary is: %d \n", john.salary );
break;
 
 case 34921:
printf( " \n" );
printf( "Employee's name is haley. \n");
printf( "haley's age is: %d \n", haley.age );
printf( "haley's ID is is: %d \n", haley.id_number );
printf( "haley's salary is: %d \n", haley.salary );
break;
}
getch();
}

When I run it it opens the "Please enter ID" part just fine, but when I enter in the I.D nothing happens. I can't seem to find what is wrong with the code, any help would be great.

What input did you enter? What's the expected output, actual output?

EDIT:
scanf( "&d", &input );
huh, read the doc. You want %d as format string.

[brack]

1) You should include <stdio.h>

2) also it is getchar(); not getch();

3) you need %d not &d as Bayint Naung said.

! Your code will "play" correctly only if you type 33033 or 34921.

There is too such a function as getch()

[Adak]

Welcome, Oral B.

Must be on Turbo C, since I see getch(), and no conio.h file being included. Sounds like TC's smart compiler/linker at work!

As a practical matter, I believe you want to make an array of these structs, so you can work with them easier, yes?

Why don't you make an array that will hold 5 - 10 of the structs, (records), and then we can set it up so that the program can read in the student data, from a file.

How's that sound?

[brack]

There is too such a function as getch()

Probably it depends from the compiler...i mean mine has an error...

[grumpy]

There is too such a function as getch()

Not in the C or C++ standards, there's not.

Some compilers or their libraries support such a function, but not all do.

[Oral B]

Ah your right I had a "&d" instead of "%d", I changed that and it runs great now! And thanks Adak, I would of made an array but that it is actually the next lesson in the tutorial I'm following, I just wanted to make sure I fully understand Switch Cases and Structures.

Thank you all so much for the help! By the way, I'm not sure why I have to use getch(), every time I try getchar(), it will close after I hit enter. Getch() lets me hit enter until the program is done running for some reason. I'm using Bloodshed's Compiler, I think that command might differ with compilers I'm not too sure.

[Babkockdood]

You need to include stdio.h and conio.h. Getch is a non-portable function, so I suggest you use getchar.

[Oral B]

But when I use getchar, the program closes after I hit enter once. When I use getch, the program will let me hit enter how ever many times I need to and it runs until its finished. Is there a way around that without switching compilers?
