Thread: Linked List problem

the easiest way if you dont want to create function which may be an idea once its working is to grab the code I posted before and change it so at the bottom of the for statement before:

Code:

}
fclose(infile);

put:

Code:

// PRINT ALL THE LIST

      tempptr = bankrecords;
      printf("NUM\tADDRESS\tLAST\tFIRST\tMI    SSN        BALANCE    NEXT\n"); 
      printf("----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"); 
      while(tempptr!=NULL)
      {
        printf("%d%5X\t%-12s\t%-9s\t%c   %9ld   %.2lf  ",counter2+1,tempptr,tempptr->lname,tempptr->fname,tempptr->initial,tempptr->socialnum,tempptr->balance);
        if(tempptr->next==NULL)
          printf("NULL\n");
        else
          printf("%5X\n",tempptr->next);
        tempptr=tempptr->next;
      }
      printf("\n\n");
    }
    fclose(infile);

and then delete the printouts later in the code and should all work how ya want it too.

Ok you have lost me i understand putting it into functions but im confused as to what declarations should go in which function.

Since this post has been goin on for ages and you have actually been trying different things etc. I've fixed it up, but I wouldnt normally, here it is in function, make sure you read it and understand it before you hand it in for your subject.
P.S. you'll have to change the print statements to whatever ones your using.

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 

typedef struct customer 
{ 
  char fname[20]; 
  char lname[20]; 
  char initial;
  long socialnum;
  double balance;
  struct customer *next;
}CUSTOMER; 

void addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  CUSTOMER *tempptr2;

  if(*bankrecords==NULL)
  {
    *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    tempptr->next=NULL;
  }
  else				// RECORDS ALREADY EXIST
  {
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)<0))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)>0))	// RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr;
      *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr = *bankrecords;
    }
    else				// RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr->next;
      tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr=tempptr->next;
    }
    tempptr->next=tempptr2;
  }

  //COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE
  strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
  strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
  tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
  tempptr->socialnum = temprecord->socialnum;
  tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
}

void printlist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  int counter=1;

  tempptr = *bankrecords;
  printf("NUM\tADDRESS\tLAST\tFIRST\tMI    SSN        BALANCE    NEXT\n"); 
  printf("----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"); 
  while(tempptr!=NULL)
  {
    printf("%d%5X\t%-12s\t%-9s\t%c   %9ld   %.2lf  ",counter,tempptr,tempptr->lname,tempptr->fname,tempptr->initial,tempptr->socialnum,tempptr->balance);
    if(tempptr->next==NULL)
      printf("NULL\n");
    else
      printf("%5X\n",tempptr->next);
    tempptr=tempptr->next;
    counter++;
  }
  printf("\n\n");
}

int main() 
{ 
  FILE *infile; 
  CUSTOMER *bankrecords;
  CUSTOMER temprecord;

  bankrecords=NULL;

  infile=fopen("data.dat","r"); 
  if(infile == NULL)
  { 
    printf("Data file could not be opened.\n"); 
  }
  else
  {
    // READ IN FILE TO THE LIST
    while(!feof(infile))
    {
      fscanf(infile,"%s %s %c %D %lf",temprecord.fname,temprecord.lname,&(temprecord.initial),&(temprecord.socialnum),&(temprecord.balance));
      addtolist(&bankrecords,&temprecord);
      printlist(&bankrecords);
    }
    fclose(infile);
  }
  return 1;
}

oops that last line

Code:

return 1;

should be

Code:

return 0;

ok i have read the data in from one file and there is a second file that has some more info and i am going to read one piece in at a time and then do some things with it according to exactly what it is. So my question is this: How am i reading in the second file? am i starting another linked list or is it going in the same list? Also say i want to compare the SSN from teh first list with one from the second list to see if the customer is already on that list how could i do that? My problem is in the main function.

Code:

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

typedef struct customer 
{ 
  char fname[20]; 
  char lname[20]; 
  char initial;
  char socialnum[10];

}CUSTOMER; 

void addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  CUSTOMER *tempptr2;

  if(*bankrecords==NULL)
  {
    *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    tempptr->next=NULL;
  }
  else				// RECORDS ALREADY EXIST
  {
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)<0))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)>0))	// RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr;
      *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr = *bankrecords;
    }
    else				// RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr->next;
      tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr=tempptr->next;
    }
    tempptr->next=tempptr2;
  }
  

  //COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE
  strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
  strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
  tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
  strcpy(tempptr->socialnum,temprecord->socialnum);
  tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
}

void addtolist2(CUSTOMER **transactions,CUSTOMER *temp)

      tempptr3=tempptr3->next;

    if((*transactions==tempptr3) && (strcmp(tempptr3->fname,temp->fname)>0))	
    {
      tempptr4=tempptr3;
      *transactions = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));

		}
		
	}
	
  return 0;
}

ok the following code wont allow 2 occurences of the same SSN in the same list:

Code:

#include <stdio.h> 

typedef struct customer 
{ 
  char fname[20]; 
  char lname[20]; 
  char initial;
  long socialnum;
  double balance;
  struct customer *next;

// RETURN 1 IF INSERTION IS SUCCESSFUL
int addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  CUSTOMER *tempptr2;

  if(*bankrecords==NULL)
  {
    *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    tempptr->next=NULL;
  }
  else				// RECORDS ALREADY EXIST
  {
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)<0))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)>0))	// RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr;
      *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr = *bankrecords;
      tempptr->next=tempptr2;
    }
    else				// RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END
    {
      if(tempptr->socialnum != temprecord->socialnum)
      {
        tempptr2=tempptr->next;
        tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
        tempptr=tempptr->next;
        tempptr->next=tempptr2;
      }
      else return 0;
    }
  }

  //COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE
  strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
  strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
  tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
  tempptr->socialnum = temprecord->socialnum;
  tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
  return 1;
}

void printlist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  int counter=1;

  tempptr = *bankrecords;
  printf("NUM\tADDRESS\tLAST\tFIRST\tMI    SSN        BALANCE    NEXT\n"); 
  printf("----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"); 
  while(tempptr!=NULL)
  {
    printf("%d%5X\t%-12s\t%-9s\t%c   %9ld   %.2lf  ",counter,tempptr,tempptr->lname,tempptr->fname,tempptr->initial,tempptr->socialnum,tempptr->balance);
    if(tempptr->next==NULL)
      printf("NULL\n");
    else
      printf("%5X\n",tempptr->next);
    tempptr=tempptr->next;
    counter++;
  }
  printf("\n\n");
}

int main() 
{ 
  FILE *infile; 
  CUSTOMER *bankrecords;
  CUSTOMER temprecord;

  bankrecords=NULL;

  infile=fopen("data.dat","r"); 
  if(infile == NULL)
  { 
    printf("Data file could not be opened.\n"); 
  }
  else
  {
    // READ IN FILE TO THE LIST
    while(!feof(infile))
    {
      fscanf(infile,"%s %s %c %D %lf",temprecord.fname,temprecord.lname,&(temprecord.initial),&(temprecord.socialnum),&(temprecord.balance));
      if(addtolist(&bankrecords,&temprecord))
        printlist(&bankrecords);
    }
    fclose(infile);
  }
  return 0;
}

as long as the second file is being read in with the same information then theres no reason you cant use the same list. just read each line in the same (saving it into temprecord) and then do whatever checks and stuff ya need to and save it if you want to, alternatevly you could create a new list just as easy by doing this:

Code:

  CUSTOMER *secondlist=NULL;

and then using the functions exactly the same way.

Hope this helps

Ok once i read in the data from the second file the first thing im trying to do is compare the social num i just read in to the ones already in the list to see if there is a match, how can i do that?

Code:

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

typedef struct customer 
{ 
  char fname[20]; 
  char lname[20]; 
  char initial;
  char socialnum[10];
  double balance;
  double amount;
  struct customer *next;
}CUSTOMER; 

void addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  CUSTOMER *tempptr2;

  if(*bankrecords==NULL)
  {
    *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    tempptr->next=NULL;
  }
  else				// RECORDS ALREADY EXIST
  {
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname)<0))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)>0))	// RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr;
      *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr = *bankrecords;
    }
    else				// RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr->next;
      tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr=tempptr->next;
    }
    tempptr->next=tempptr2;
  }
  

  //COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE
  strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
  strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
  tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
  strcpy(tempptr->socialnum,temprecord->socialnum);
  tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
}

  



void printlist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords)
{
	CUSTOMER *tempptr;
	int counter=1;
	

  tempptr = *bankrecords;
  printf("NUM  ADDRESS  LAST       FIRST   MI    SSN        BALANCE    NEXT\n"); 
  printf("----------------------------------------------------------------\n\n"); 
  while(tempptr!=NULL)
  {
    printf("%d    %5X  %-12s%-9s%c   %s    %.2lf  ",counter,tempptr,tempptr->lname,tempptr->fname,tempptr->initial,tempptr->socialnum,tempptr->balance);
    if(tempptr->next==NULL)
      printf("  NULL\n");
    else
      printf("%5X\n",tempptr->next);
    tempptr=tempptr->next;
    counter++;
  }
  printf("\n\n");
  
}

int main() 
{ 
  FILE *infile,*infile2; 
  CUSTOMER *bankrecords;
  CUSTOMER temprecord;
 


  bankrecords=NULL;

  infile=fopen("data.dat","r"); 
  if(infile == NULL)
  { 
    printf("Data file could not be opened.\n"); 
  }
  else
  {
    // READ IN FILE TO THE LIST
    while(!feof(infile))
    {
      fscanf(infile,"%s %s %c %s %lf",temprecord.lname,temprecord.fname,&(temprecord.initial),temprecord.socialnum,&(temprecord.balance));
	  if(strcmp(temprecord.socialnum
      addtolist(&bankrecords,&temprecord);
      printlist(&bankrecords);
    }
    
  }
	
  
	infile=fopen("data_2.dat","r");
	if(infile2 == NULL)
	{ 
		printf("Data file could not be opened.\n"); 
	}
	else
	{
		 while(!feof(infile))
		{
			fscanf(infile,"%s %s %c %s %lf",temprecord.lname,temprecord.fname,&(temprecord.initial),temprecord.socialnum,&(temprecord.amount));
			addtolist(&bankrecords,&temprecord);
			printlist(&bankrecords);
			
			
		} 
		
	} 
	
  return 0;
}

something like this should work:

Code:

// Returns true (1) if the record exists
int findinlist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;

  tempptr = *bankrecords;
  if(tempptr==NULL)
    return 0;
  else
  {
    while((tempptr!=NULL) && (tempptr->socialnum!=temprecord->socialnum))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;
    if(tempptr==NULL)
      return 0;
    else
      return 1;
  }
}

should work, havent tested it, I see your using a string for socialnum, so in that case you whould have the while statement reading something like:

Code:

    while((tempptr!=NULL) && (strcomp(tempptr->socialnum,temprecord->socialnum)<>0))

but if you are only going to be inserting it into the list if its not there then you can just use the add function I fixed as it returns 0
if the record is already in the list.

ok my problem is that when i expanded my list of names from the first file. As it reads each person and their stats to teh linked list it no longer sorts them by their last name?!! I have no idea why it did that.

Here is the exact data file im using

Springston Ray L 374926490 40392.37

Hopkins Weston S 463947204 2940.45

Code:

void addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
	CUSTOMER *tempptr;
	CUSTOMER *tempptr2;



	if(*bankrecords==NULL)
	{
	  	
		*bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
		tempptr->next=NULL;
	}
	else				/* RECORDS ALREADY EXIST */
	{
		
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
		while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname)<0))
			tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname)>0))	/* RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST */
    {
		tempptr2=tempptr;
		*bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
    }
    else				/* RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END */
    {
		tempptr2=tempptr->next;
		tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		  tempptr=tempptr->next;
	}
    tempptr->next=tempptr2;
  }
  

	/* COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE */
	strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
	strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
	tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
	strcpy(tempptr->socialnum,temprecord->socialnum);
	tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
}

what could be wrong?

ok the problem is that it originally sorted them by their firstname, and in the addtolist function theres still some references to fname, all you have to do is search through the addtolist function and change EVERYTHING that says fname to lname. and that should fix your problem.

ok i went back and changed them all to last name as you can see below:

Code:

void addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
	CUSTOMER *tempptr;
	CUSTOMER *tempptr2;



	if(*bankrecords==NULL)
	{
	  	
		*bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
		tempptr->next=NULL;
	}
	else				/* RECORDS ALREADY EXIST */
	{
		
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
		while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname)<0))
			tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname)>0))	/* RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST */
    {
		tempptr2=tempptr;
		*bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		tempptr = *bankrecords;
    }
    else				/* RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END */
    {
		tempptr2=tempptr->next;
		tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
		  tempptr=tempptr->next;
	}
    tempptr->next=tempptr2;
  }
  

	/* COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE */
	strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
	strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
	tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
	strcpy(tempptr->socialnum,temprecord->socialnum);
	tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
}

....but my output is still this:

I have no clue why its doing this

fixed, acidently screwed up the search function to work out where it goes, before it was checking the current lists lname with the value to insert, if it was bigger then it put it after it instead of before it. So instead I made it check the next->lname value instead:

Code:

// RETURN 1 IF INSERTION IS SUCCESSFUL
int addtolist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
  CUSTOMER *tempptr;
  CUSTOMER *tempptr2;

  if(*bankrecords==NULL)
  {
    *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    tempptr->next=NULL;
  }
  else				// RECORDS ALREADY EXIST
  {
    tempptr = *bankrecords;
    while((tempptr->next!=NULL) && (strcmp(tempptr->next->lname,temprecord->lname)<0))
      tempptr=tempptr->next;

    if((*bankrecords==tempptr) && (strcmp(tempptr->next->lname,temprecord->lname)>0))	// RECORD BELONGS AT START OF LIST
    {
      tempptr2=tempptr;
      *bankrecords = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
      tempptr = *bankrecords;
      tempptr->next=tempptr2;
    }
    else				// RECORD IS SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE OR END
    {
      if(tempptr->socialnum != temprecord->socialnum)
      {
        tempptr2=tempptr->next;
        tempptr->next = (CUSTOMER *) malloc(sizeof(CUSTOMER));
        tempptr=tempptr->next;
        tempptr->next=tempptr2;
      }
      else return 0;
    }
  }

  //COPY ALL DATA FROM TEMP RECORD TO NEW ONE
  strcpy(tempptr->fname,temprecord->fname);
  strcpy(tempptr->lname,temprecord->lname);
  tempptr->initial = temprecord->initial;
  tempptr->socialnum = temprecord->socialnum;
  tempptr->balance = temprecord->balance;
  return 1;
}

ok im trying to set up a way for me to be able to make adjustments to my list, i have started but its beginning to get confusing to me. im tyring to set up a switch statement or something where like

If the Social Security number does NOT already exist in the linked list, AND
the transaction request is a DEPOSIT, then
1. print out a statement letting them know they are being added

If the Social Security number does NOT already exist in the linked list, AND
the transaction request is a WITHDRAWAL, then

1. print out statement saying they do not exist in the list

If the Social Security number DOES already exist in the linked list, AND the
transaction request is a DEPOSIT, then
1. print out statement saying that the amount is being added

If the Social Security number DOES already exist in the linked list, AND the
transaction request is a WITHDRAWAL, and the amount to be withdrawn does NOT
exceed the balance, then
1. statement saying they are making a withdrawal

If the Social Security number DOES already exist in the linked list, AND the
transaction request is a WITHDRAWAL, AND the amount to be withdrawn exceeds
the balance, then
1.message saying their acount will be close and then delete the account.

How can i go about this.

Code:

int findinlist(CUSTOMER **bankrecords,CUSTOMER *temprecord)
{
	CUSTOMER *tempptr;
	int test;
	tempptr = *bankrecords;

	
	
	if(tempptr==NULL)
		return 0;
	else
	{
	while((tempptr!=NULL) && (atoi(tempptr->socialnum)!=atoi(temprecord->socialnum))) {
			tempptr=tempptr->next;
		}

	if((temprecord->balance) > 0 )
		test=1;
	if((temprecord->balance < 0 ) && (temprecord->balance < tempptr->balance))
		test=2;
		
	
    if(tempptr==NULL) {
		return 0;
	}
	if(test==0)
		printf("Error");
	else if(test==1) {
		printf("%s %c %s, %s, is making a deposit of $%.2lf.\n\n",temprecord->fname,temprecord->initial,
		temprecord->lname,temprecord->socialnum,temprecord->balance);
		tempptr->balance = tempptr->balance + temprecord->balance;
		printlist(bankrecords);
		return 1;
	}
	else if (test==2) {
		printf("%s %c %s, %s, is making a withdrawal of $%.2lf.\n\n",temprecord->fname,temprecord->initial,
		temprecord->lname,temprecord->socialnum,fabs(temprecord->balance));
		tempptr->balance = tempptr->balance - temprecord->balance;
		printlist(bankrecords);
		return 1;
	}
			
			
  }
}
