Hey GuYs!

i hve got a problem with array of characters ;


PROBLEM:

There are 4 semesters in University. Store 3 names of student of lenght [15] and roll in each 4 semester?


Condition :-
1 .Semester 1
(a) Student Name(1)
(b ) Roll No of student

(a) Student Name (2)
(b ) Roll no of student

(a ) student Name (3)
(b ) Roll no of Student
.
.
.


4 .Semester 4
(a) Student Name
(b ) Roll No of student



INPUT =
1.Students Name of Length[15]
2.Roll no of students.



ERROR:

the compiler is asking the Name first time
than it is only asking the roll # .

OUTPUT

Enter the name hbk
Enter the roll # 3
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

void main(void)
{
clrscr();

typedef struct STUDENT
{
char name[15];
int roll[3]
};
STUDENT bscs[3];


int i,j;


for( i=0 ; i<3 ; i++ )
{
for( j=0 ; j<3 ; j++ )
{

printf("\nENTER THE NAME PLEASE");
scanf("%s",&bscs[i].name[j]);

printf("ENTER THE ROLL #");
scanf("%f",&rawf);

}
}


getch();
}


ERROR:

the compiler is asking the Name first time
than it is only asking the roll # .

OUTPUT

Enter the name hbk
Enter the roll # 3
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )
Enter the name Enter the roll # (Not asking name )

void main() needs to be int main. See link for details

Move the structure declaration up above main() so that is not inside any function body.

scanf("%s",&bscs[i].name[j]);

name[j] is just a single character, not a pointer to a character array. That line should be scanf("%s",&bscs[i].name);. And move that line (and the previous printf()) up so that it is between the two loops.

Shouldn't the struct be outside the main?

And

scanf("%f",&rawf);//you should be receiving the bscs[i].roll

Most programs I have seen declare then outside any function so that the structure can be referenced anywhere in the program. Most commonly structures are declared in a header file. But there are no C or C++ rules that prohibit declaring them inside a function as the OP posted. The problem with that is the structure scope is limited to the function in which it is declared -- other functions will not be able to use it.

Thank You for the explanation Ancient Dragon
