    Why is my program not working

    i want to write a simple country code program. the program will ask the user to enter a country code. if the country code number matches to the struct then it gives out a result
    if the user enters a country code which is not listed in the structure then an error message shows

    when i write the correct country code the error message shows up. can someone help tell me where i have made a mistake in my code

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    
    
    
    
    
    struct dialing_code {
    
    
        char *country;
        int code;
    
    
    
    
    };
    
    
    const struct dialing_code country_codes[]=
    {   {"Argentina",          54}, {"Bangladesh",             880},
        {"Brazil",             55}, {"Colombia",                57},
    
    
    
    
    };
    
    
    
    
    int main (void)
    
    
    {
        int code, i;
        printf("Enter countrycode: ");
        scanf("%d", &code);
        if (country_codes[i].code==code) {
        for (i=0; i<sizeof(country_codes)/sizeof(country_codes[0]); i++) {
           
                printf("Country code %d is for %s", code, country_codes[i].country);
                printf("\n");
            
        }
        }
        else printf("Error\n");
        
        return 0;
    
    
    }

    You've got your loop and if statement inside-out. The if should be inside the loop so that it is tested for every i. And it's probably better to just set a flag and break the loop if you found the code, then have another if statement test the flag.

    BTW, you should remove all the extra blank lines from your code when you post.
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    
    struct dialing_code {
        const char *country;
        int code;
    };
    
    const struct dialing_code country_codes[] = {
        {"Argentina",          54}, {"Bangladesh",             880},
        {"Brazil",             55}, {"Colombia",                57},
    };
     
    int main (void) {
        int size = sizeof country_codes / sizeof country_codes[0];
    
        int code = 0;
        printf("Enter countrycode: ");
        scanf("%d", &code);
    
        int found = 0, i = 0;
        for (i = 0; i < size; i++) {
            if (country_codes[i].code == code) {
                found = 1;
                break;
            }
        }
    
        if (found)
            printf("Country code %d is for %s\n", code, country_codes[i].country);
        else
            printf("Code not found\n");
    
        return 0;
    }
    A little inaccuracy saves tons of explanation. - H.H. Munro
