Structures, files, and array help
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct cars {
char make [ 20 ] ;
char model [ 20 ] ;
char color [ 15 ] ;
int year ;
double price ;
} cars ;
//Provide the prototype for your PCFs below:
int main (void)
{
//Local variables declared... add additional variables as required
cars inventory [ 25 ] ;
//1. Open the cars.dat file in the read mode and confirm
// you have properly opened the file.
//2. Read the entire contents of the cars.dat file into the
// inventory array.
//3. Close the cars.dat file
//4. Call function_1( ), which will process the contents of the
// inventory array by sorting the inventory array to place all the cars
// in ascending order according to their price.
//5. Call function_2( ), which will save (write) the sorted inventory
// array to a file named output.dat
//6. Terminate
return 0 ;
}
//Provide the definition for your PCFs below:
I can't figure out how to populate the array with the data in the data file. Above is what I have so far. Below is what the data file looks like.
