Thread: Don't know what to do

Declare a structure of type "Car" to represent a motor car including the elements:
(a) make (string)
(b) model (string)
(c) odometer (int)
(d) manufactureDate (Date - see below)
(e) purchaseDate (Date - see below)
(f) petrolTank, capacity and current level (Tank - see below)

You will need to also declare a structure of type "Date" to represent the:
(a) day (int)
(b) month (int)
(c) year (int)

You will need to also declare a structure of type "Tank" to represent the:
(a) capacity (double)
(b) currentLevel (double)

(That is, you will have structures nested inside structures.)

Write a program that reads (from the user or a file) the car information for a fleet of cars. Put this in an array called "Fleet" that can hold up to 10 cars. (The user and file input must be able to handle less than 10 cars as well.) The program is then to give the user the option of either displaying the fleet on the screen or saving it to a file.

Write the following input functions: "getFleet", "getCar", "getDate", "getTank" (which gets the information from the user) and "readFleet" (which reads the information from a file).

Write the following output functions: "showFleet", "showCar", "showDate", "showTank" (which prints the information to the screen) and "saveFleet" (which saves the information to a file).

Your program is to have appropriate error checking for user input and file I/O.

I don't really know what to do....this is what I've done so far..I hate C...

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#define STRSIZE 50
#define SIZE_OF_FLEET 10

typedef struct {
int day;
int month;
int year;

} Date;

typedef struct {
double capacity;
double currentLevel;

} Tank;

typedef struct {
char make[STRSIZE];
char model[STRSIZE];
int odometer;
Date manufactureDate; /* structure within struct */
Date purchaseDate; /* structure within struct */
Tank petrolTank, capacity, currentLevel; /* structure within struct */

} Car;

void getCar(Car *pCar);
void getFleet(Car paramfleet[]);
void getTank(Tank *pTank);


int main(void)
{
getCar(&Car);
return 0;
}

void getFleet(Car paramfleet[])
{

}


void getCar(Car *pCar)
{
printf("Enter the make of the car.\n");
scanf("%s", &(*pCar).make[STRSIZE]);

printf("Enter the model of the car.\n");
scanf("%s", &(*pCar).model[STRSIZE]);

printf("Enter the odometer number");
scanf("%d", &(*pCar).odometer);
}

void getTank(Tank *pTank)
{
/* pTank->capacity; */
}

First of all, you should edit your post to include code tags around your code.

Let's look at this:

Code:

int main(void)
{
getCar(&Car);
return 0;
}

You are calling the function getCar(), but look what you are passing. Remember that Car is a type of structure. Might it be better to do something like:

Code:

int main()
{
    struct Car myCar;
    getCar(&myCar);
    return 0;
}

This way you are passing a stucture of type Car instead of passing it the structure name.

Next we have:

Code:

void getTank(Tank *pTank)
{
/* pTank->capacity; */
}

That doesn't do anything at all. Maybe you meant:

Code:

double getTank(Tank *pTank)
{
    return pTank->capacity;
}

This is what I've done so far, but still not working like the question asks..

#include<stdio.h>

typedef struct {
char make[10], model[10];
int odometer;
} car_t;
typedef struct{
int day, month, year, pyear, pday, pmonth;
}date_t;
typedef struct{
double capacity, currentLevel;
}tank_t;



int getCar(car_t *c);
void showCar(car_t c);
int getDate( date_t *d);
void showDate(date_t d);
double getTank( tank_t *t);
void showTank(tank_t t);



int main(void)
{
car_t c;
date_t d;
tank_t t;
if (getCar(&c) != 0)


showCar(c);


if (getDate(&d) != 0)


showDate(d);



if (getTank(&t) != 0)


showTank(t);

return 0;

}

int getCar(car_t *c)
{
printf("Enter the name of the car.\n");
if (scanf("%s", c->make) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the model of the car.\n");
if (scanf("%s", c->model) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the odometer reading of the car.\n");
if (scanf("%d", &c->odometer) != 1)
return -1;

return 0;
}

void showCar(car_t c)
{
printf("\n");
printf("Name of the car is %s\n", c.make);
printf("Model of the car is %s\n", c.model);
printf("Odometer reading of the car is %d\n", c.odometer);
}


int getDate(date_t *d)
{
printf("Enter the day of when the car was made.\n");
if (scanf("%s", &d->day) != 1)
return -1;
printf("Enter the month of when the car was made .\n");
if (scanf("%s", &d->month) != 1)
return -1;
printf("Enter the year of when the car was made.\n");
if (scanf("%d", &d->year) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the purchase day of when the car was made.\n");
if (scanf("%s", &d->pday) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the purchase month of when the car was made .\n");
if (scanf("%s", &d->pmonth) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the purchase year of when the car was made.\n");
if (scanf("%d", &d->pyear) != 1)
return -1;

return 0;
}

void showDate(date_t d)
{
printf("\n");
printf("The day the car was made %d\n", d.day);
printf("Month the car was made %d\n", d.month);
printf("The year the car was made %d\n", d.year);

}

double getTank(tank_t *t)
{
printf("Enter tank capcaity of the car.\n");
if (scanf("%lf", &t->capacity) != 1)
return -1;

printf("Enter the current level of the tank.\n");
if (scanf("%lf", &t->currentLevel) != 1)
return -1;


return 0;
}

void showTank(tank_t t)
{
printf("\n");
printf("The capacity of the tank is %lf\n", t.capacity);
printf("The current level is %s\n", t.currentLevel);

}

I don't have the time to do that......I really need help though....I amlike exhausted

Adding code tags involves pressing the edit button, and typing in 13 characters. That takes less time than complaining that you "dont have the time to do that".

If you're not going to make the effort to follow this board's rules, then I'm not going to make the effort to help you.

Something else about this quote............... I can't quite figure out what ................ Plz help me guys........

Sound familiar?

I leave you to arrive at you own conclusions.
