    Starting with strucutres and getting error!! Please get me help

    Here is my header file code (structure.h)


    Code:
    struct user {
    
    
        int userId;
        char firstname[20];
        char lastname[20];
        int age;
        float weight;
    
    
    };
    And here is my main program code

    Code:
    //Programming in C (Structural)
    
    
    /*
     *
     * @author Dushyant Kaushik
     * 
     */
    
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include "strucutre.h"
    
    
    char name[25];
    void addusr_Wizard(char name[25]);
    int main(void)
    
    
    {
        system("clear");
        char c;
        
        printf("Want to add a user? (Y OR N)");
        
        scanf("%c", &c);
        
        if(c == 'Y') 
        {
            printf("\nEnter name of the user: ");
            scanf("%s", &name);
            addusr_Wizard(name);
        } else 
        {
            printf("OK! As you wish!");
            break;
        }
        
        getchar();
        return 0;
    }
    
    
    void addusr_Wizard(char name[25])
    {
        struct user name;
        
        name.firstname = name;
        printf("Enter last name of the user: ");
        scanf("%s", &name.lastname);
        printf("Enter age of user: ");
        scanf("%d", &name.age);
        printf("Enter user id: ");
        scanf("%d", &name.userId);
        printf("Enter weight of the user: ");
        scanf("%f", &name.weight);
        
        exit(0);
    }

    1. You have too many things called name.
    2. You don't need & on your variables when using %s to read into a char array.
    3. Put your global variables in main.
    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.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <string.h>
    
    struct user {
        int userId;
        char firstname[20];
        char lastname[20];
        int age;
        float weight;
    };
    
    struct user infomation;
    
    void addusr_Wizard(struct user infomation, char n[])
    {
        strcpy(infomation.firstname, n);
        printf(" name is %s\n", infomation.firstname);
    
        /*
        printf("Enter last name of the user: ");
        scanf("%s", &name.lastname);
        printf("Enter age of user: ");
        scanf("%d", &name.age);
        printf("Enter user id: ");
        scanf("%d", &name.userId);
        printf("Enter weight of the user: ");
        scanf("%f", &name.weight);
        * **/
    }
    
    int main (int argc, char **argv )
    {
    char c[10];
    char n[20];
    
        system("clear");
        printf("Want to add a user? (Y OR N)");
        scanf("%s", c);
    
        if(strcmp( "y" , c) == 0)
        {
            printf("\nEnter name of the user: ");
            scanf("%s", n);
            addusr_Wizard( infomation, n );
        }
         else
        {
            printf("OK! As you wish!\n");
        }
    return 0;
    }

    Code:
    Want to add a user? (Y OR N)y
    
    Enter name of the user: bob
     name is bob
    how's that?
    You'll still need to figure out how to get the rest of your members filled.

    Well that explains your other thread, if you thought this
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.

    Btw, you intend to use structure.h but in your C-source you wrote
    #include "strucutre.h"

    typing error.....
