I have made one program, where you enter a few characters (10 max). It makes you a list, count average length of surnames, tell about how much different names. But the problem is, when I enter the last number (10) - it sorts me it incorrectly (like 39399349349, 3443993). Beneath I will present my code. I am newbie in C, so please don't shut on me) I am convinced that sorting function is incorrect, but don't know what exactly(
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct people {
int num[10];
char surname[20];
char name[10];
} peoples[10], c;
int compare_people_num(const void *a, const void *b);
int main()
{
int i, j, k = 0, l = 0, m = 0, n = 0;
float s = 0;
char str[100];
system("chcp 1251 > nul");
for (i = 0, j = 0; i < 10; i , j )
{
printf("Enter number, surname, name %d of your human: ", i 1);
fgets(str, sizeof str, stdin);
sscanf(str, "%d %s %s", &peoples[j].num, &peoples[j].name, &peoples[j].name);
while (str[n] != '\n')
{
if (str[n] != ' ')
{
peoples[j].num[k] = str[n];
}
else
break;
n ;
k ;
}
n ;
k = 0;
while (str[n] != '\n')
{
if (str[n] != ' ')
{
peoples[j].surname[k] = str[n];
}
else
break;
n ;
k ;
}
n ;
k = 0;
while (str[n] != '\n')
{
if (str[n] != '\0')
{
peoples[j].name[k] = str[n];
}
else
break;
n ;
k ;
}
n = 0;
k = 0;
}
for (i = 0; i < 10; i )
{
for (j = i 1; j < 10; j )
{
if (!strcmp(peoples[i].name, peoples[j].name))
m = 1;
}
if (m == 0)
l ;
m = 0;
s = s strlen(peoples[i].surname);
}
for (i = 0; i < 9; i )
for (j = 0; j < 9; j )
if (strcmp(peoples[j].num, peoples[j 1].num) > 0)
{
qsort(peoples, 10, sizeof(struct people), &compare_people_num);
}
for (i = 0; i < 10; i )
{
printf("%d ", peoples[i].num);
printf("%s ", peoples[i].name);
printf("%s ", peoples[i].surname);
printf("\n");
}
printf("\nYou have %d different names\n", l);
printf("Avarege lenght of surname is = %f\n", s / 10);
}
int compare_people_num(const void *a, const void *b)
{
const struct people *p1 = a;
const struct people *p2 = b;
return p1->num - p2->num; // Change order to reverse sort
}
CodePudding user response：
I went through your code and removed things that weren't needed. In both your input and sorting, it seemed like you were doing things twice. I tried to document the changes I made and explain why they should be made.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
// It's generally a good idea to use #define when you have some global constants
// I made some of the constants larger than what you showed to prevent issues
#define MAX_NAME_LEN 40
#define MAX_SURNAME_LEN 40
#define NUM_PEOPLE 10
#define BUFF_LEN 100
// Separate your struct...
struct person {
int num;
char name[MAX_NAME_LEN];
char surname [MAX_SURNAME_LEN];
};
// ... and array decleration
static struct person people[NUM_PEOPLE];
// I added this function, to make it easier to display a person
void print_person (const struct person * p) {
printf("Person %d %s %s\n", p->num, p->name, p->surname);
}
// This function will print out every person in the people array
void print_people (void) {
for (int i=0; i<NUM_PEOPLE; i ) {
print_person(&people[i]);
}
}
// Compares two people by number
int compare_people_num (const void * a, const void * b) {
struct person * p0 = (struct person *) a;
struct person * p1 = (struct person *) b;
return p0->num - p1->num;
}
// Compares two people by name
int compare_people_name (const void * a, const void * b) {
struct person * p0 = (struct person *) a;
struct person * p1 = (struct person *) b;
return strcmp(p0->name, p1->name);
}
int main (void) {
int i;
char buffer[BUFF_LEN];
for (i=0; i<NUM_PEOPLE; i ) {
printf("Enter number, surname, and name of person %d: ", i 1);
fflush(stdout); // fflush makes sure that our text is shown to the user
fgets(buffer, BUFF_LEN, stdin); // Read user input in to buffer
// It's unclear what you were doing here
// This sscanf line takes a line of text, and splits it into a number and two words
// It then stores that number in people[i].num, and stores the words in name and surname
// However, right after this, you have several while loops that appear to be manually doing the same
// thing all over again. If you want to read all of the input in, just the line below is enough
sscanf(buffer, "%d %s %s", &people[i].num, people[i].name, people[i].surname);
}
// We've read all of the people in now
// Uncomment the next line to check out the output at this state:
// print_people();
// To count names, we first need to sort the people by their name
// We do this using a qsort call
qsort(people, NUM_PEOPLE, sizeof(struct person), compare_people_name);
// Once the names are sorted, we'll calculate how many different names there are
// We start the count at 1, and start checking from the second person (index 1)
// This is because the first person will always be unqiue, and we can't compare to
// person negative 1
int n_names = 1;
for (i=1; i<NUM_PEOPLE; i ) {
char * current = people[i].name;
char * previous = people[i-1].name;
if (!strcmp(current, previous)) {
n_names ;
}
}
// Now we have to sort the people based on their num field
// Again, in your code, it looked like you were doing this more than nessecary
// We just have to call qsort once, as such
qsort(people, NUM_PEOPLE, sizeof(struct person), compare_people_num);
// We will also do a loop through to calculate the average surname length
float avg_surname_len = 0;
for (i=0; i<NUM_PEOPLE; i ) {
avg_surname_len = (float)strlen(people[i].surname);
}
avg_surname_len /= (float)NUM_PEOPLE;
// We're all done! The people are sorted by number.
print_people();
printf("There are %d unique names\n", n_names);
printf("The average surnames is %f characters\n", avg_surname_len);
