Question

Please help me correct my C code in visual studios.

My code asks me to enter names from a .txt file then if the names are valid i can log in.

When the program launches the user should be presented with three options; Press 0 to exit Press 1 for author info Press 2 to Log in Selecting 0 exits the program Selecting 1 prints your name and student id Selecting 3 prompts the user to enter a user name and password. You should then open the file "passwords" and see if the user is authorized to use the program*

I have done this so far. Once i have successfully logged in I can press option 2 to add a new student. I have done that so far. Now I have made a mistake for option 4. Option 4 asks me to enter a grade for the student. After hitting option 4 it asks me for the grade, whenever i enter a grade the program just crashes on me. I am not sure what my error is.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

const char * PASSWORD_FILE = "passwords.txt";
const int MAX_STUDENTS = 1000;

Explanation / Answer

your code is getting crashed in this code:

void enterGPA(char ids[1000][25], float grades[1000][100], int counts[], int num)
{
   char id[25];
   int i, idx;
   float gpa;
   idx = -1;
   printf("Enter Student ID: ");
   scanf("%s", id);
   //find student
   for (i = 0; i < num && idx == -1; i++)
   {
       if (strcmp(id, ids[i]) == 0)
       {
           idx = i;
       }
   }
   if (idx >= 0)
   {
       printf("Enter Grade: ");
       scanf("%f", &gpa);
       grades[idx][counts[idx]] = gpa; //--------<--------error at this line
       counts[idx] += 1;
   }
   else
   {
       printf("NO Such Student Exist In The System");
   }
}

This error is because of the count array. Your code is not running in visual studio giving linking error
