    Need help

    I am suppose to write a program that presents a main menu to a user. The main menu should present the user with two option. 1) convert a temperature or 2) quit the program. If the user selects the first option, she should be prompted to enter her name, after which the screen should clear, followed by a presentation of a conversion menu the conversion menu must provide six temperature conversions.


    In addition to displaying the conversions to the screen as output it must collect the following data written to a file tmpstat.txt
    total conversions by type for each user
    total conversion for each user
    total conversion by type for all users
    total conversion for all user.


    Here is my source code i wrote up
    i have no clue as to how to collect the data in the paragraph above to write to the file? Can anyone help me with how to collect the data? I know were suppose to use a loop but i don't know where to put it?

    program:
    Code:
    
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <string.h>
    #define MAX 20
    
    void Greetings(void);
    void getchoice(void);
    void cmenu(void);
    void ftoc(double temp, char name);
    void ctof(double temp, char name);
    void ftoK(double temp, char name);
    void ctoK(double temp, char name);
    void Ktof(double temp, char name);
    void Ktoc(double temp, char name);
    void displayresult(double Ctemp, double temp, char name);

    To Salem

    Sorry about that;

    I had already fixed the code on my computer I just failed to update the code. And i'm not asking for the same thing its just that i didn't think anyone noticed my problem yesterday most likely because my wording was confusing.

    counter problem

    would it be possible if i put the counters in the switch statement that it would be sufficient to collect the data need to put into the file. another question how would i store the counter in the file i know how to save to a file and opening the file but how would i save the counter each time. plus can't use global variables.

    >when you do option 7

    What do you mean when you said when you do option 7? Is that where i put the counters. If i put the counters there how would it collect the stats fot he conversions.

    output

    I s there anyway i can display the output in my program like

    Alice's conversions

    99.9 degrees Fahrenheit = 88.8 kelvins
    99.9 degrees celsius = 88.8 degrees fahrenheit

    instead of having the ouput be displayed everytime conversion ocurrs.
