char name[30];
int id;
char dep[50];
FILE *fptr;

fptr = fopen("M:\\Tafhim.txt","w");

printf("Enter Department:");

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Use & sign while taking int as user input.
scanf("%d",&id);
Except char arrays, everything else need & sign while taking user input.

Answer 2

When you use scanf("%s",name) the compiler stop reading when it reaches a space. So the characters after space won't enter into the variable.
Use this method to read names with spaces : scanf("%[^\n]",name);

Answer 3

In the int variable you can write only numbers, you cannot add - in int. So id cannot take numbers with -
If you want to add - in id then declare id as a string too.

Answer 4

Arun Ruban SJ I fixed my mistake. But when i try to write name as Richard Philip it was not take this was a single name. In the ID section i can only writ number 1909 but i can not write 1909-1997.
Please fixed this problem

Answer 5

Hey boss. As far as I'd you will almost certainly have to take it as a string as well, because it has characters other than whole numbers. As for your name, there are probably going to be a few ways to do it, my suggestion would be to take it in two parts first-name and last-name. In which case you can place your first name as the output filename as well for extra credit. Hope this helps.
