    1st timer, need help

    the question i am facing is this. i am writing a program to to prompt for name, sex, code and number. i must look up the rate code which is either 1-4. then i have to print all persons in order and the total of all records. output must show all info entered. this is my first program and have been told to use arrays for this. the only knowledge i have on C is from this web site which is wonderful. if anyone could help me complete this program or tell me if i'm heading in the right direction is greatly appreciated.

    Most people are not going to download possibly malicious programs from an anonymous source. Read the first and second post in the forum list.

    "the only knowledge i have on C is from this web site"

    Then you're probably already way over your head with this program. I recommend you get the book "Ivor Horton's Beginning C++" if you want to learn C++ with no prior knowledge of programming, although if you do have prior knowledge it's still a great book.

    Otherwise, start with a Hello World program and work up from there. If you don't know about the various types, header files, namespaces, and how to use loops and arrays first, then putting them altogther in one program is going to be difficult.

    sorry, your exactly right, here is the code, my apologies#include <stdio.h>
    #include <ctype.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    int main ()
    void fillarray
    void bubblesort
    void sortarray
    void printarray
    int code;
    char x
    struct empdata
    int emp#
    float total;
    printf ("The med code table is as follows:\n
    Male {1=25, 2=30, 3=40, 4=50}\n
    Female {1=20, 2=25, 3=35, 4=45.\n
    1-emp only,\n 2-emp+1 dependent,\n
    3-emp+2 dependents,\n 4-emp+3ormore dependents.\n");
    printf ("Enter your sex and rate code.\n");
    scanf ("%d" "schar", &sex, &code);
    void fillarray
    for male
    code{1}=25 ;
    code{2}=30 ;
    code{3}=40 ;
    code{4}=50 ;
    return o;
    for female
    code{1}=20 ;
    code{2}=25 ;
    code{3}=35 ;
    code{4}=45 ;
    return 0;


    while (code = getchar() {
    switch (code)
    for male = m
    { case '1':
    { printf ("Enter emp# 1-999. Name.");
    break ;

    /*from here i think i continue with the cases*/

    P.S. Your code has so many errors. Once again, start with a Hello World program and then build from there.
