    structures and arrays

    Ok this is my problem...


    #include <stdio.h>
    #define MAX [10]

    struct employee // structure of employees (first and last name)
    {
    char firstname [20];
    char lastname [20];
    };
    typepdef struct employee Employee;

    GetName (Employ *);

    Employee Employees [5]; //an array of the structure

    void main (){
    Employee E;
    GetName (&E); //Gets name from user

    //now how do i store that into the first spot the array
    //and once i do that how i can i call it again to store it into
    //a second spot
    }

    void GetName(employ *pE){
    printf ("please enter the first name of the employee");
    scanf ("%s", &(pE->firstname));
    printf ("please enter the coordinates for point 2 (x and y)");
    scanf ("%s", &(pE->lastname));
    }


    ????

    Re: structures and arrays

    >>void main ()
    Read this

    //now how do i store that into the first spot the array
    //and once i do that how i can i call it again to store it into
    //a second spot
    Maybe like this:

    Code:
    for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
    {
      GetName(&E);
      Employees[i] = E;
    }
    But in this case, what's the point of the E struct? Might as well just use the one from the array.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
