I cant get this program to work I can get it to read in the file and enter the winning numbers but it just ends after it. the program is supposed to take in a file (input.txt) and make it into a list of structs with peoples names and lotto numbers in it and then get numbers from the user and compare them with the numbers in the structs and if there is any winners they win certain amounts of money. im using dev c. Code: #define NUMBERS_PLAYED 6 enum MATCHED { NONE = 0, THREE = 10, FOUR = 1000, FIVE = 10000, SIX = 1000000 }; struct player { char last[19]; char first[19]; int nums_played[6]; int count; int prize; }; int main () { FILE* ifp; char input[1024]; int winners[6]; int i, j; int k; int ticketsbought = 0; struct player* player = 0; //Ask user for the name of the file to read from printf("Please enter the name of the file with the ticket data. \n"); //Read in the file to read from fgets(input, sizeof(input), stdin); if( input[strlen(input)-1] == '\n') input[strlen(input)-1] = '\0'; //Open file for reading ifp = fopen(input , "r"); //The first line will contain a single integer n, the total number of //tickets bought. Now we will read in that first line fscanf(ifp, "%d ", &ticketsbought); player = (struct player *)malloc(ticketsbought *sizeof(player)); //The first line will contain the last name of the ticket buyer, followed by //a space, followed by the first name of ticket buyer for (i = 0; i < ticketsbought; i++) { fscanf(ifp, "%s ", player[i].last); fscanf(ifp, "%s ", player[i].first); for (j = 0; j < NUMBERS_PLAYED; j++) { fscanf(ifp, "%d ", &player[i].nums_played[j]); } } //Close the input.txt file fclose(ifp); //Ask the user for the winning combination of numbers printf("Please enter the winning lottery numbers:\n"); scanf("%d %d %d %d %d %d", &winners[0], &winners[1], &winners[2], &winners[3], &winners[4], &winners[5]); for (i = 0; i < ticketsbought; i++) { player[i].count = 0; for (j = 0; j < 6; j++) { for (k = 0; k < 6; k++) { if (player[i].nums_played[j] == winners[k]) player[i].count++; } } if (player[i].count == 3) player[i].prize = THREE; else if (player[i].count == 4) player[i].prize = FOUR; else if (player[i].count == 5) player[i].prize = FIVE; else if (player[i].count == 6) player[i].prize = SIX; else player[i].prize = NONE; if( player[i].count > 0) { printf("%s %s matched %d numbers and won $%d \n", player[i].first, player[i].last, player[i].count, player[i].prize); } } system("PAUSE"); return 0; }
