    7 hours?

    Hello I have a project, and I just need the next push in this code. I'm not sure how to tell the program that it can't exceed 7 credit hours? Thanks

    At Valence community college, a student can’t take more than 3 courses under the constraint of having no more than 7 credit hours. The purpose of this assignment is to construct a fee invoice for a student. This requires the input of Student’s id as integer and the course numbers.
    It costs 120.25 dollars per credit hour in addition to $35.00 charged for health and id services.

    Here is the list of all courses Valence Community College offers:

    CRN Course Prefix Credit Hours
    4587 MAT 236 4
    4599 COP 220 3
    8997 GOL 124 1
    9696 COP 100 3
    4580 MAC 236 2
    4591 CLP 229 5
    9997 GGG 124 0
    9693 CMP 100 4


    After inputting all the necessary data (see sample run), a fee invoice as shown below should be printed to the screen.

    VALENCE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
    ORLANDO FL 10101
    ---------------------

    Fee Invoice Prepared for Student V5656

    1 Credit Hour = $120.25

    4599 COP 220 3 $ 360.75

    Health & id fees $ 35.00

    --------------------------------------
    Total Payments $ 876.75



    ASSUME THAT THE USER WILL ALWAYS ENTER DISTINCT VALID COURSE NUMBERS

    Enter how many courses-up to 3
    3

    Enter the 3 course number(s)
    4587 4599 9696

    Sorry, you can’t cumulate more than 7 credit hours

    Enter how many courses-up to 3
    2

    Enter the 2 course number(s)

    Goodbye!

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    int main ()
    {
    int studentID = 0, courseTotal = 0;
    
    
    
       printf("Enter the Student ID: ");
       scanf("%d", &studentID);
       
       printf("Enter how many courses - up to 3: ");
       scanf("%d", &courseTotal);
       
       while ( courseTotal > 3 || courseTotal < 1)
       {
             printf ("Invalid number! Try again\n\n");
       
             printf("Enter how many courses - up to 3: ");
             scanf("%d", &courseTotal);
       }
    
    printf ("\n\nEnter the %d course number(s)\n\n", courseTotal);
       
       
              
              system ("pause");

    Are you meant to read this information from a file, or is it hard coded in the source code?

    Do you know about
    - arrays
    - structures
    ?

    If you do, then I would suggest you declare a struct containing the relevant information, then declare an array of that struct (of suitable length), and have a go at reading the file.

    After that, write a function that takes a course ID as a parameter, then returns the corresponding credit hours as the result.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
