Help with last part of struct

Quote:

Hi I have almost all of my program complete I think, but what I can't figure out is how do I include the Total Gross of all the employees at the end of my program. I know I need a printf statement but I'm not sure what else I need and how to make it work. Please help

---

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

struct Info
{
int Id_Number;
char Last_Name[20];
float Pay_Rate;
float Hours_Worked;
float Gross_Pay;
float Total_Gross_Pay;
};
int main()
{
struct Info info[1];

int p;



    for (p = 0; p < 6; p++)
{
        printf("\n\nEnter the employee Id Number? ");
        scanf("%d", &info[p].Id_Number);
        printf("\nEnter the employee Last Name? ");
        scanf("%s", &info[p].Last_Name);
        printf("\nEnter the employee Pay Rate? ");
        scanf("%f", &info[p].Pay_Rate);
        printf("\nEnter the employee Hours Worked? ");
        scanf("%f", &info[p].Hours_Worked);
               
    info[p].Gross_Pay = ((info[p].Pay_Rate) * (info[p].Hours_Worked));
   
   
}
    printf("\nLast Name          Id Number                  Gross Pay");
    printf("\n_________          _________                _________");
   
    for (p = 0; p < 6; p++)
    {
    printf("\n%-20s %-20d      %2.2f", info[p].Last_Name, info[p].Id_Number, info[p].Gross_Pay);
}
 
    printf("\n___________________________________________________________");
    printf("\n-----------------------------------------------------------");
   
   
getchar();
getchar();
 return 0;
 
    }

Your array has only one element yet you are looping six times.

Since you left out details in your question, I fill them in myself.

I assume that the "Info" struct represents one person. Therefore, it does not make sense to store the total of anything (i.e. total gross pay) for a bunch of "Infos" in the struct itself. The "total gross pay" should be something external to the struct, so just another variable in your "main". To get the total gross pay, you iterate over all "Infos" and sum their "gross pay" fields, and print it. I.e. the following pseudocode

Code:

---

sum = 0; // initialize sum
for counter = 1 to size of array // if you only have one element, no need for an array, i assume you have a larger array
  // sum all the gross pays
print sum

---

This is a single structure type.

What is that? If you have an array with one element and the size of the array doesnt change, theres no point having an array.

I'm sorry I wasn't thinking part of the question reads Declare a single structure type suitable for an employee record consisting of an array of six stuctures.

Thats a terribly worded sentence/assignment specification, in my opinion. What is a "single structure type"? Is it asking to create an array of 6 "Employee" structs?

Ok I will type the entire question.
A) Declare a single structure type suitable for an employee record consisting of an interger identification number, a last name(consisting of a moximum of 20 characters), a floating point pay rate and a floating point number of hours worked.

B)Using the sturcture type declared in programming exercise A write a program that interactively accepts the following data into an array of six sturctures.

C)Once the data has been entered the program shouyld create a payroll report listing each employee's name, number, and gross pay. Include the total gross pay of all employees at the end of the report.

Hopefully youve learnt not to leave out details (as I mentioned above), because it only delays your answer.

Youve declared more fields in the record that it asks for. It asks for 4 fields but youve created 6. Also, the more intuitive struct name might be "Employee", as the assignment suggests, rather than "Info".

You seem to have this part done, however, as mentioned twice above, you need an array of 6 structures--right now you have an array of 1 structure.

You seem to have most of this done. However, you have to calculate each employees pay in this second for loop (rather than storing it in the struct, as you do now in the first for loop--you can only use the 4 given fields and cannot add others like this one). For displaying the total gross pay of all employees see my first reply.
