Thread: Trying to pass back up the Quantity of items sold.

I honestly have no idea where I'm going wrong. I'm trying to retrieve an integer for items sold by comparing strings of text in the quantitySold function. Any ideas?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MAX 100


FILE *csis;


typedef struct{
    char itNo[MAX], itDes[MAX], itSal[MAX];
    float itAmo;
    int itQua;
} database;


int     main(void);
int     inputItemData(database ItemInfo[]);
int     inputItemData1(database ItemInfo[]);
void    outputData(database ItemInfo[], int num);
int     quantitySold(database ItemInfo[], int num1, int num, int sum[MAX]);
void    strsub(char *buf, char *s, int start, int end);


int main(void) {
    database ItemInfo[MAX];
    int num, num1, num2, sum[MAX];
    float x;


    csis = fopen("SalesSummary.txt", "w");
    if (csis == NULL){
        puts("File SalesSummary.txt could not be opened for output.");
        exit(1);
    }


    num = inputItemData(ItemInfo) - 1;
    num1 = inputItemData1(ItemInfo) - 1;
    outputData(ItemInfo, num);
    printf("%d", ItemInfo[2].itQua);
    fclose(csis);
    return 0;
}


int inputItemData(database ItemInfo[]) {
    int i=0;
    char buf[MAX];
    char temp[MAX];
    FILE *fp;


    fp = fopen("ItemList.txt", "r");
    if (fp == NULL) {
        puts("File ItemList.txt could not be opened for input.");
        exit(1);
    }
    while (!feof(fp)){
        fgets(buf, MAX, fp);
        strsub(buf, ItemInfo[i].itNo, 0, 6);
        strsub(buf, ItemInfo[i].itDes, 8, 20);
        strsub(buf, temp, 22, 26);
        ItemInfo[i].itAmo=atof(temp);
        i++;
    }
    fclose(fp);


    return i;
}


int inputItemData1(database ItemInfo[]) {
    int i=0;
    char buf[MAX];
    char temp[MAX];
    FILE *fp;


    fp = fopen("ItemSales.txt", "r");
    if (fp == NULL) {
        puts("File ItemSales.txt could not be opened for input.");
        exit(1);
    }
    while (!feof(fp)){
        fgets(buf, MAX, fp);
        strsub(buf, ItemInfo[i].itSal, 0, 6);
        i++;
    }
    fclose(fp);


    return i;
}


void outputData(database ItemInfo[], int num) {
    int i;


    printf("Item Number\tItem Description\tQuanity Sold\n");
    fprintf(csis, "Item Number\tItem Description\tQuanity Sold\n");
    for(i=0; i<num; i++) {
        printf("%s\t", ItemInfo[i].itNo);
        printf("\t%s\t", ItemInfo[i].itDes);
        printf("\t%.2f \n", ItemInfo[i].itAmo);
        fprintf(csis, "%s\t", ItemInfo[i].itNo);
        fprintf(csis, "\t%s\t", ItemInfo[i].itDes);
        fprintf(csis, "\t%.2f \n", ItemInfo[i].itAmo);
    }
}


int quantitySold(database ItemInfo[], int num1, int num, int sum[MAX]){


    int i, x;
    for(x=0; x<num1; x++){
            for(i=0; i<num; i++){
    if(strncmp(ItemInfo[x].itSal, ItemInfo[i].itNo) == NULL){
        ItemInfo[i].itQua = ItemInfo[i].itQua + 1;
    }
    }
} return ItemInfo[i].itQua;
}



void strsub(char buf[], char sub[], int start, int end) {
    int i, j;


    for (j=0, i=start; i<=end; i++, j++)
        sub[j] = buf[i];
    sub[j] = '\0';
}

Did you try reading some documentation for the strncmp() function?

What does this function return?

Does it ever return NULL?

Hi ..

I have looked twice now and yet to find a call to that function....where did I miss it ?

That's what I'm unsure of. I'm trying to compare strings and if they match I want them to add a 1. I've accomplished quite a bit, but that's the only thing I can't overcome. All I want is a function to compare strings and add up in an array, having different numerical values. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. I've been working on this the past 12 hours. I can't necessarily say I'm thinking straight.

I wanted to store the values in an array. I didn't necessarily call the function in the main, but used it to store numerical values.

Code:

while (!feof(fp))
