    Post Where are the Errors in this Programs? I can not understand.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    struct Bookinfo
    {
          char[20] bname;
          int pages;
          int price;
    }book[3];
    
    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
    int i;
    
    for(i=0;i<3;i++)
        {
        printf("\nEnter the Name of Book    : ");
        gets(book[i].bname);
        printf("\nEnter the Number of Pages : ");
        scanf("%d",book[i].pages);
        printf("\nEnter the Price of Book   : ");
        scanf("%f",book[i].price);
        }    
    
    printf("\n--------- Book Details ------------ ");
        
    for(i=0;i<3;i++)
        {
        printf("\nName of Book    : %s",book[i].bname);
        printf("\nNumber of Pages : %d",book[i].pages);
        printf("\nPrice of Book   : %f",book[i].price);

    It looks like a "fix the errors in this program" homework to me.
    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.

    No it is not for homework.I was trying to write a program for storing book information using structure and array in c program.I am new in c programming Language.For this i find this kind of program in ww.google.com.But i find it in this website.So it is not homework type Thing. C array of structure - C Programming - c4learn.com

    Have a closer look at the line
    Code:
    char[20] bname;
    Is this really the correct way to declare an c-style string?
    Maybe have another look at your textbook.

    That site is a train-wreck!
    You'd do better to delete it from your browser and seek other learning resources.

    Because the program and site are rubbish.
    Throw it away.

    The website, apart from providing non-compiling code doesn't even indent the code consistently :-o LOL

    Anyway, since the OP is working from such a tragic example it cannot hurt to provide them with how the code should be

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    struct Bookinfo
    {
          char bname[20];
          int pages;
          double price;
    } book[3];
    
    int main(void)
    {
        int i;
    
        for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            printf("Enter the Name of Book    : ");
            scanf("%s", book[i].bname);
            printf("Enter the Number of Pages : ");
            scanf("%d", &book[i].pages);
            printf("Enter the Price of Book   : ");
            scanf("%lf", &book[i].price);
        }
    
        printf("\n--------- Book Details ------------\n");
    
        for(i = 0; i < 3; i++)
        {
            printf("Name of Book    : %s\n", book[i].bname);
            printf("Number of Pages : %d\n", book[i].pages);
            printf("Price of Book   : %f\n", book[i].price);
        }
    
        return 0;
    }
    It's still not great, but at least it compiles HAHAHAHA
