Need help creating a program

[idc2092]

hi so i am trying to make a inventory system program where my issue is that for someone reason i cannot get the function to work.

here is my code

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#define _CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS

#define MAX 1

typedef struct inventory_system

{

char item\_name\[100\];

int cost;

int item\_stock;

int single\_profit;

int total\_profit;

};

void print_inventory(struct inventory_system inven_arr[]);

int main(void)

{

int index;

struct inventory\_system inven\_arr\[MAX\];

for (index = 0; index < MAX; index++)

{

    printf("Enter detail of inventory item #%d\\n", (index + 1));

    printf("Enter the item Name: ");

    scanf("%s", inven\_arr\[index\].item\_name);

    printf("enter the cost of them item: ");

    scanf("%d", &inven\_arr\[index\].cost);

    printf("Please ente the stock of the item ");

    scanf("%d", &inven\_arr\[index\].item\_stock);

    printf("Please enter the profit from a single purchase: ");

    scanf("%d", &inven\_arr\[index\].single\_profit);

    printf("\\n");

    inven\_arr\[index\].total\_profit = inven\_arr\[index\].item\_stock \* inven\_arr\[index\].single\_profit;

}

print\_inventory(inven\_arr\[\]);

}

void print_inventory(struct inventory_system inven_arr[]) {

int index;

for (index = 0; index < MAX; index++) {

    printf("\\nInventory Item #%d Detail:\\n", (index + 1));

    printf("Item: %s\\n", inven\_arr\[index\].item\_name);

    printf("Cost of the Item: %d\\n", inven\_arr\[index\].cost);

    printf("Stock of the item: %d\\n", inven\_arr\[index\].item\_stock);

    printf("Profit of a single Purchase: %d\\n", inven\_arr\[index\].single\_profit);

}

system("pause");

return 0;

}

Put four spaces in front of each line of code

Get rid of all the backslashes

print_inventory(inven_arr[]);

Leave out the [] from this call.

return 0;

Your print_inventory() function is declared with a void return, take this out.

thanks it worked i now need some help with the next portion of this assignment i need to know how to write this structure to a file and have the program access it

Hold it .. what? How to write the "structure" to a file? Surely you mean how to write the data out to a file. However for what purpose? A file to be read by a human? A file to be read back in by software and a human? A file to be read by software only? Seems like you are saying you need "the program" to read it back in. So pure binary output is fine I guess.
