Thread: Struct Help

Hi....i want to add data into a struct array and save it. how will i do this?i can get it to work.please help....

Code:

// STRUCTURES

struct CatRec {
   char catname[10];  // Cat Name
   char gender;       // The Gender of the Cat: M,F
   char type[20];     // Type of Cat
   char color[10];    // The Color of the Cat
   int  age;          // Age of Cat
   char genuine;      // Genuine Breed
};


void main()
{
  struct CatRec Cats[100];
  int choice;
  int n=1;

  do
  {
       clrscr();

       choice = Menu(choice);

        switch (choice)
        {
                case 1: clrscr();
                        AddCat(Cats,n);
                        break;

............... bla bla bla


void AddCat(struct CatRec Cats[],int &n)
{
    char choice;


      cprintf("Cat Name: ");
      cin>>Cats[n].catname;


      cprintf("\nGendar(M/F): ");
      cin>>Cats[n].gender;


      cprintf("\nBreed Type: ");
      cin>>Cats[n].type;


      cprintf("\nCat Color: ");
      cin>>Cats[n].color;


      cprintf("\nAge: ");
      cin>>Cats[n].age;

      cprintf("\nGenuine Breed(Y/N): ");
      cin>>Cats[n].genuine;

      cprintf("SAVE CHANGES(Y/N): ");
      cin>>choice;

      if (toupper(choice) == 'Y')
            printf("SAVED");
      else
           printf("NOT SAVED");

      getch();
}

Can you describe what isn't working, error messages, whatever?

do you have #include <iostream>, for an up to date compiler, or #include <iostream.h>, if your compiler doesn't use up to date standard headers, so you can use cin >>?

I would argue against mixining C and C++ type I/O in the same program, unless you have a good handle on both types of I/O routines.

In case you're interested: Using C++ structs you don't need the keyword struct in the following lines:

struct CatRec Cats[100];
void AddCat(struct CatRec Cats[],int &n)

which I find helpful (less typing for one thing and C++ structs are more flexible than C structs).
