HELP! Structures!!

akemikanegae (16)
I have this assignment, and the teacher said that it is open internet, open book, etc. I cannot figure out how to do the last part!

1.Create an array that contains ten (10) variables of the following type:


typedef struct {
char firstName[30];
char lastName[30];
char street[35];
char city[20];
char state[3];
int zip;
char phone[15];
int accountId;
} Customer;

2.
Prompt the user for values for each of the variables in each structure, i.e. you will be asking for 10 firstName values, 10 lastName values, and so forth. Hint: You should think about creating a function to input values for a structure, and then create a loop to call this function 10 times.

3.
After all of the values for the structure variables have been input, you need to prompt the user for a state string, and then display the values of all variables in each structure where the state string matches the user's input. Hint: You should think about creating a function to print all of the values for a structure, and then call the function for those structures that meet your criteria.

You can assume that the user always enters proper data - no input validation is required.

Any question?
akemikanegae (16)
<iostream.h> is not in my directory, and I cannot use it in this class. I have to find another way. Do you know of another way?
Imadatobanisa (647)
Try removing
<iostream.h>
akemikanegae (16)
would you then still be about to use cout and cin? It says that I cannot use those.
Imadatobanisa (647)
The example, does it run properly? Or compiling errors ?
What the compiler are you using?
You said "You want to use cout and cin" ? Or "The compiler doesn't accept cout and cin" ?

the compiler does not accept cout and cin, and the teacher does not either. I'm using C++
Imadatobanisa (647)
Look at the example, I used
printf - scanf
(no cin - cout)

If you want to use cout or cin, add
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
akemikanegae (16)
i tried it, and it worked kind of. I need to prompt the user for a state string, and then display the values of all variables in each structure where the state string matches the user's input. Hint: You should think about creating a function to print all of the values for a structure, and then call the function for those structures that meet your criteria.

It should look like this:

Enter 2-character state code: CO
Data for Customer 4
Account: 4
Name: Doug Colorado
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890


Data for Customer 5
Account: 5
Name: Another Colorado
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890


Data for Customer 9
Account: 9
Name: Doug Jones
Addr: Main Portland CO 12345
Phone: 123-456-7890

It just shows all the people that live in the state you prompted the user to type in within accounts 0-9.
Imadatobanisa (647)
At :

system("cls");
printf("\tEnough! The interview has been closed. Thanks all!!!\n");
system("pause");
return 0;

}

Change to :

system("cls");
printf("\t\tEnter 2-character state code : \n"); scanf("%s",yes);system("cls"); //yes : char[100]
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++){
if(stricmp(yes,customer[i].state) == 0) //Right
{
printf("\t\tData for Customer %d\n",i);
printf("\tAccount : %d\n",customer[i].accountId);
printf("\tName : %s %s\n",customer[i].firstName, customer[i].lastName);
printf("\tAddr : %s %s %d\n", customer[i].city, customer[i].state, customer[i].zip);
printf("\tPhone : %s\n\n",customer[i].phone);
}
}
system("pause");

return 0;

}


Do you understand? Any question?

I tried that, and it doesnt print anything. After is asks for the 2 character state code, it ends the program.
Imadatobanisa (647)
Give your last input - output that you have already entered and received. (I need Customer "state" information and the final output search)
akemikanegae (16)
This is what i used to get the state information

fgets(customer[x].state,10,stdin);
customer[x].accountId= strlen(customer[x].state) - 1;
customer[x].state[customer[x].accountId] = '\0';

And i used this to try and answer the last question

printf("Enter 2-character state code : ");
scanf("%s",yes);
for(x = 0; x < 10; x++)
{
if(strcmp(yes,customer[x].state) == 0)
{
printf("Data for Customer %d",x);
printf("Account : %d\n",customer[x].accountId);
printf("Name : %s %s\n",customer[x].firstName, customer[x].lastName);
printf("Addr : %s %s %d\n", customer[x].city, customer[x].state, customer[x].zip);
printf("Phone : %s\n",customer[x].phone);
}


I deleted the system clear because it would delete everything and close my program. This way works better, it just doesnt say anything after i give the 2 character code. Sorry that I am not understanding...this is all very new to me.
Imadatobanisa (647)
Make sure you entered state information correctly. Log (print) state information by do a 10-time loop which only prints 10 customer's state before 'find customer state code', then post it here (Included your state search word).

Im sorry, I do not quite understand what you are saying. I have a ten time loop for the entire function, but do i need one just for the state?
Imadatobanisa (647)
You give your whole program output (But I need Customer 'state' information) - customer[x].state... Print (cout) them, and post them here with your state search word.
akemikanegae (16)
I ended up having to submit it as it was, but i got it to work, for the most part. Thank you SO much!!!
