simple struct program but erros

im making simple program to read roll number and name of 5 students but it only prints roll no of 1st student whats wrong in code?

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>


void main()
{
struct student
{
    int roll;
    char name;
};
struct student stu[3];
int i;
printf("Enter details of 5 students\n");
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
    printf("Enter roll no for student %d\n",i+1);
    scanf("%d",&stu[i].roll);
    printf("Enter name of student %d\n",i+1);
    scanf("%s",&stu[i].name);
}
printf("details of student\n");
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
    printf("details of stuednt %d\n",i+1);
    printf("Roll no %d\n",stu[i].roll);
    printf("name %s",stu[i].name);
}
}

i have to print roll no and name of 3 students not only of 1st studnt
help me guys!!!

Good morning san12345.

First of all; You need to improve your "style" of coding. I mean leave blank lines when needed, so if you read it 2 or 3 months later, you won't try to figure out what the program does.

So I tried to re-make your program using typedef. Struct is not needed to be inside main. Also, notice that the names are strings not characters.

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

struct student
{
    int roll;
    char name[50];
};


typedef struct student studentT;


void main()
{
    studentT stu[3];
    int i;

    printf("Enter details of 5 students\n");

    for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
        printf("Enter roll no for student %d\n",i+1);
        scanf("%d",&stu[i].roll);


        printf("Enter name of student %d\n",i+1);
        scanf("%s", &stu[i].name);
    }
   
    printf("details of student\n");
   
    for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
        printf("details of stuednt %d\n",i+1);
        printf("Roll no %d\n",stu[i].roll);
        printf("name %s",stu[i].name);
    }
}

If you have any questions, just ask ;)

thx for reply. your code is working but is it posible to make it using struct only... instead of typedef

If you do not want the typedef then use struct student instead of studentT.
