#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
struct Record {
int employeeNumber;
char employeeName;
float salary;
int yearsServiced;
} record[5];
struct record[0] = {46723, "Fattah", 4550.00, 8};
printf("TheEmployee number is %d", record[0].employeeNumber);
}
Why my program cannot run? please help. Thanks for advance.
struct record[0] declares an array of size 0. You intend to initialize the first element of the array and you confuse declaring and indexing:
struct Record myRecord[1] = {46723, "Fattah", 4550.00, 8};
This declares an array of size 1 and initializes the first element with the given values.
struct record[1] --> struct Record record[1] (And use another name for variable name of the array)
employeeName is wrong.Firstly, by struct record[0] you are declaring an array of size 0, which you need to change to struct record[1].
And as far as your doubt regarding casting, you should read Struct initialization of the C/C++ programming language?
Lastly , I don't think it is the reason of your error but why are you trying to assign "Fattah" to a variable of type char.
You declared employeeName as char but you pass in a string. employeeName needs to be a pointer on char.
char *employeeName;
#include <stdio.h>
int main () {
struct Record {
int employeeNumber;
char *employeeName;
float salary;
int yearsServiced;
} record[5];
record[0].employeeNumber = 46723;
record[0].employeeName = "Fattah";
record[0].salary = 4550.00;
record[0].yearsServiced = 8;
printf("TheEmployee number is %d", record[0].employeeNumber);
}
struct record[0]declares an array of size 0.char employeeName;-->char *employeeName;,struct record[0] = {46723, "Fattah", 4550.00, 8};-->record[0] = (struct Record){46723, "Fattah", 4550.00, 8};
