Thread: removing a duplicate entry

Hello everyone,
I am trying to remove a duplicate entry. My problem is in the two if statements following the for loop and I for some reason cannot figure it out. I have one entry in a file that has the same department name AND course number. I am trying to get one of those removed as my instructions are to list only distinct dept/course number. My question is can someone show me what my error is and how I might go about fixing it?

Code:

#include "classes.h"

int main(void)
{
    int switchInput;
    int i = 0;
    int tempCourse = 0, tempCourse1 = 0;
    char caseOneInput[5];
    FILE *filePointer;
    sched_record data[MAX_RECORD];

    filePointer = fopen (BINFILE, "rb");
    if (filePointer == NULL) {
        printf("**Can't open file**");
        printf("**Check file permissions of file path**\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Enter your choice: ");
    scanf("%d", &switchInput);

    switch(switchInput)
    {
        case 1:

            fread(data, sizeof(sched_record), MAX_RECORD, filePointer);
            fclose(filePointer);
            printf("Enter Dept Name: ");
            scanf("%s", caseOneInput);
            qsort(data, MAX_RECORD, sizeof(sched_record), sortFunction);
            for (i=0; i<MAX_RECORD; i++){
                if (!strcmp(caseOneInput, data[i].Dept)){
                    if(tempCourse != data[i].course);{
                    printf("\n%s %d", data[i].Dept, data[i].course);
                    tempCourse = data[i].course;
                    }

                }
            }
    }
    return 0;
}

How about this?

Code:

if (strcmp(caseOneInput, data[i].Dept)==0){
