structs

[07deep]

hi

i have an assignment on structs. i'am facing some difficulties in that

there is function that requires to read from a binary, i know hw to do
that but another part of it says that it return the number of entries
read from the file. how do we do that.

and another part of it says that we have to add struct details from the
user into an array. i have the code that asks the user for input but
dunno how to add it to a array

hope u can help me

thanz

Wrap them in a struct. Return that struct.

Use indexing operator, you know, "[]". If your array has enough room
in it to store the input, use assignment to an element of the array and
then increment the index to prepare to store to the next element.

Not sure how. You only explained what you know and what you don't know.
Ask a particular question. Put your code on the table, let's see what
you have done so far (since you know enough to have written something).
And read the FAQ. All of it. And I mean *all of it*. You may not be
able to understand some of it, but you need to read it all to see if it
answers some of the questions you have.

I read your question as:

"... but another part of the assignment says that the function I write
should return the aggregate number of records that the function has read
from the file".

Is that a valid rendition? If so, you may want a static variable in the
fuinction to contain a count of records and update it on each call to the
function. You could add a parameter to the argument list to tell the
function to return the accumulated value, rather than doing it's ordinary
thing.

and another part of it says that we have to add struct details from the
user into an array. i have the code that asks the user for input but

We know nothing about this array or this structure. I read it as " I dunno
how to do x with y even though I have z".

I suggest that you add "Binary_Read" methods to your structure.

Have code that creates instances, reads them, puts them into a
container, then increments a counter. If the container is smart, you
can query it to find the number of items.
