Phonebook Programming

I am working on the program but I am having difficulty with the if statements being used to figure out if each structure is empty or not!

Could any of you please provide some assistance?

  /* Write a program that uses an array of structures to hold contact information (first name, last name, 
address, phone number and email) for your friends. The program should allow the user to enter as many 
friends as the user wants. In this program do the following:
a. Create a function to add entries in the phone book.
b. Create a function to delete a specific entry (lookup based on the first name, assuming 
every entry has unique names) from the phone book. 
(Hint: Use Dynamic Memory Allocation to shrink the array after deletion.)
c. Create a function to print valid phone book entries. Do not display phone book entries 
that are invalid or NULL (0). You can assume that all people have unique names.
