Help with Structures

[devilsknight]

Alrighty...here's my problem...i have to get data entered from a user and insert it into a structure...i ask the user to give me a operation code (i = insert), i go to the insert function create my structure and ask the user for the data...but how do i store it into the structure ? can i try to store directly in scanf ?

thanks here's my code

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

	char operCode;

	printf("Enter operation code: ");

	scanf("%c", &operCode);

	if (operCode == 'i')
	{
		insertPart();
	}
/*
	if (operCode == 's')
	{
		searchPart();
	}

	if (operCode == 'u')
	{
		updatePart();
	}

	if (operCode == 'p')
	{
		printPart();
	}
*/

	if (operCode == 'q')
	{
		printf("Program Terminated !\n");
	}
}

int insertPart()
{

	int part = 0;
	char name;
	int quan = 0;

	struct comp_part
	{
		int partNum;
		char partName[15];
		int quantity;
	};

	printf("Enter part number: ");
	scanf("%i", &part);

	printf("Enter part name: ");
	scanf("%c", &name);

	printf("Enter quantity on hand: ");
	scanf("%i", &quan);

}

Maybe like this?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

typedef struct foo{
 char quux[10];
 int mynumby;
}foo;


int main(){
 struct foo mystruct;

 printf("Let's input some info on the struct\n");
 printf("Give a name with at most 10 chars and a number\n");
 //Scanf is evil but I'm lazy!
 scanf("%s",mystruct.quux);
 printf("\n");
 scanf("%d",&mystruct.mynumby);

 printf("%s %d\n",mystruct.quux,mystruct.mynumby);
 return 0;

}

Any descent C book covers this =/

Why bother with the typedef if you're going to precede the identifier with the keyword struct, anyway?

Maybe cause it is 3 AM and I was partying?

Must have been some party.

I know I like to surf message boards when I'm having a wild time, too. Oh, and that applies if you were talking about drugs or sex...
