The code I have for now and i think only 1 part wrong
Here is what I have so far:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#define MDIR 27 //size of list
#define MBUFF 256
#define MHASH 109 //hash function is 9
#define MNAME 40
struct List{
char name[40];
int studID;
};
//function prototype
int readData(struct List dir[]);
int hashfunc(char *name);
void hash(struct List dir[], int ndir,
int hashtable[]);
int search(char *key,
struct List s[], int hashtable[]);
//main function
int main(){
int ndir, result, hashtable[MHASH];
int count;
int i;
int j;
struct List s[27];
char temp[27];
char query[40];
FILE *fptr;
fptr = fopen("rec.txt", "r ");
if (fptr != NULL) {
printf("File created successfully!\n");
}
else {
printf("Failed to create the file.\n");
// exit status for OS that an error occurred
return -1;
}
for(count = 0; count < 27; count ){
fscanf(fptr,"%d", &s[count].studID);
fgets(s[count].name,40,fptr);
}
selection sort
for(count = 0; count < 27; count ){
fscanf(fptr,"%d%s", &s[count].studID, s[count].name);}
for(i=0;i<27;i ){
for(j=i 1;j<27;j ){
if(strcmp(s[i].name, s[j].name) < 0){
strcpy(temp, s[i].name);
strcpy(s[i].name, s[j].name);
strcpy(s[j].name, temp);
}
}
}
printing the sorted name then continue the hashing of searching
//printing sorted name
printf("Sorted Names\n");
for(i=0;i<27;i ){
printf("%s\n", s[i].name);
}
fclose(fptr);
hashing of searching part
ndir=readData(s);
hash(s,ndir,hashtable);
puts("\nName to search>>");
fgets(query,MNAME-1,stdin);
query[strlen(query)-1]='\0';
result=search(query,s,hashtable);
if(result==-1)
printf("Not Found");
else
printf("%s's ID is %d\n",
s[result].name, s[result].studID);
return 0;
}
read function
int readData(struct List dir[]){
FILE *fdir=fopen("rec.txt","r");
char buff[MBUFF];
int i=0;
while(i<MDIR && fgets(buff,MBUFF-1,fdir)){
dir[i].studID=atol(strtok(buff,":"));
strcpy(dir[i].name,strtok(NULL, "\n"));
i ;
}
return(i);
}
hash function
int hashfunc(char *name){
long sum=0;
int k=0;
while(name[k]){
sum =name[k];
k ;
}
return( (int) (sum % MHASH) );
}
hash function
void hash(struct List dir[], int ndir,
int hashtable[]){
int k;
int index;
for(k=0;k<ndir;k ){
index = hashfunc(dir[k].name);
hashtable[index]=k;
}
}
search function
int search(char *key, struct List dir[],
int hashtable[]){
int index=hashfunc(key);
int k=hashtable[index];
if(strcmp(key,dir[k].name)==0)
return(k);
else
return(-1);
}
I am not sure for the hashing of searching part

Whenever faced with a need to separate fields in a line of data, the normal approach is to read an entire line of data as a string into a buffer (character array). Then you separate what you need from the buffer using whatever method fits the data the best. Either using a pair of pointers to bracket the text you need and then copying the characters between the pointers. You can automate the process using string functions like strchr() to locate the ':' in the buffer. You can also use string functions like strtok() to split the buffer into tokens on any given set of delimiters.
However here there is an even simpler method. Since you have a fixed format for the studID and name in the line, you can simply use sscanf(), e.g.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MXSTUD 30 /* if you need a constant, #define one (or more) */
#define MXNAME 40
typedef struct list { /* adding typedef for convenience */
char name[MXNAME];
unsigned studID;
} list;
...
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
int count = 0; /* count of students */
char buf[MXNAME * 2]; /* temprorary storage for line */
list s[MXSTUD] = {{ .name = "" }}; /* list array initialized all 0 */
/* open filename given as 1st argument or "rec.text" if none given */
FILE *fptr = fopen (argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "rec.text", "r");
if (!fptr) { /* validate file open for reading */
fputs ("error: file open failed\n", stderr);
return 1;
}
while (fgets (buf, sizeof buf, fptr)) { /* read each line into buf */
/* separate studID and name using sscanf() */
if (sscanf (buf, "%u:9[^\n]", &s[count].studID, s[count].name) == 2) {
count = 1; /* increment count on success */
}
}
...
That's all that is needed to read each line of data and separate the line into studID and name storing each in an element of the list array of struct.
Use qsort() For Sorting
Regardless of whether you have an array or allocated block of memory containing objects, qsort() provides a simple and efficient way to sort it. All you need to do is write a compare() function telling qsort() how to compare the elements. The declaration for the qsort() compare function is:
int compare (const void *a, const void *b);`
Where a and b are simple pointers-to elements of your array to be compared. So when writing the function, all you need to do is cast a and b to the proper type and write the logic to compare whatever you like in the two elements. A negative return means a sorts before b and a positive return means b sorts before a. A zero return means the elements are equal.
Casting the a and b to type const list * (you include const since the data isn't modified which allows the compiler freedom to optimize more fully), you simply loop over each name comparing characters and returning when two characters differ or the end of file is reached. Here, to sort your s[] array by name you can do:
/* qsort compare function lexagraphically sorts words */
int compare (const void *a, const void *b)
{
/* a & b are pointers to adjacent list elements, (pointers to list) */
const list *sa = (const list *)a,
*sb = (const list *)b;
const char *na = sa->name, /* pointers to name in each element */
*nb = sb->name;
/* loop advancing a character in each word per-iteration */
for (;; na , nb ) {
/* if characters differ or at end of either */
if (*na != *nb || !*na)
break;
}
return (*na > *nb) - (*na < *nb); /* return sort order */
}
Then to sort your array of list (your s[] array) with qsort(), all that is needed is:
qsort (s, count, sizeof *s, compare); /* sort array by name */
Putting it all together in a short program that reads from the filename given as the first argument to the program (or from "rec.text" by default if no argument is given), you can do:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define MXSTUD 30 /* if you need a constant, #define one (or more) */
#define MXNAME 40
typedef struct list { /* adding typedef for convenience */
char name[MXNAME];
unsigned studID;
} list;
/* qsort compare function lexagraphically sorts words */
int compare (const void *a, const void *b)
{
/* a & b are pointers to adjacent list elements, (pointers to list) */
const list *sa = (const list *)a,
*sb = (const list *)b;
const char *na = sa->name, /* pointers to name in each element */
*nb = sb->name;
/* loop advancing a character in each word per-iteration */
for (;; na , nb ) {
/* if characters differ or at end of either */
if (*na != *nb || !*na)
break;
}
return (*na > *nb) - (*na < *nb); /* return sort order */
}
int main (int argc, char **argv) {
int count = 0; /* count of students */
char buf[MXNAME * 2]; /* temprorary storage for line */
list s[MXSTUD] = {{ .name = "" }}; /* list array initialized all 0 */
/* open filename given as 1st argument or "rec.text" if none given */
FILE *fptr = fopen (argc > 1 ? argv[1] : "rec.text", "r");
if (!fptr) { /* validate file open for reading */
fputs ("error: file open failed\n", stderr);
return 1;
}
while (fgets (buf, sizeof buf, fptr)) { /* read each line into buf */
/* separate studID and name using sscanf() */
if (sscanf (buf, "%u:9[^\n]", &s[count].studID, s[count].name) == 2) {
count = 1; /* increment count on success */
}
}
qsort (s, count, sizeof *s, compare); /* sort array by name */
for (int i = 0; i < count; i ) { /* output results */
printf ("- u %s\n", i 1, s[i].studID, s[i].name);
}
}
(note: you simply need to open the file in read mode "r")
Example Use/Output
With your data in a file named dat/studIDlist.txt, for the 27 students in your data you would get:
$ ./bin/studIDlist dat/studIDlist.txt

You will have to get line by line your file and store it in an array.
FILE *fp = fopen("lorem.txt", "r");
if(fp == NULL) {
perror("Unable to open file!");
exit(1);
}
char chunk[128];
while(fgets(chunk, sizeof(chunk), fp) != NULL) {
fputs(chunk, stdout);
fputs("|*\n", stdout); // marker string used to show where the content the chunk array has ended
}
fclose(fp);
To split each line use strtok() function:
char *token = strtok(line, ":"); // To separate the first block from the second like seen on your image.
char *token[1] = strtok(token, ","); // To separate the other part
