I don't understand what is wrong with the following code. Please help.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

struct employee

{

char name[100];

char address[100];

char desgn[100];

float salary;

};

int main()

{

struct employee details;

printf("Please enter the full name of the employee : ");

scanf("%[^\n]s", details.name);

printf("\n");

printf("Please enter the address of the employee : ");

scanf("%[^\n]s", details.address);

printf("\n");

printf("Please enter the designation of the employee : ");

scanf("%[^\n]s", details.desgn);

printf("\n");

printf("Please enter the salary of the employee : ");

scanf("%f", details.salary);

printf("\n");

printf("PAY SLIP");

printf("This is to certify that Mr/Ms. %s ,who lives at %s, works in our company as the %s. He receives %f only, as salary per month.", details.name, details.address, details.desgn, details.salary);

return 0;

}

I believe the way you are taking the input is not okay. Please try adding & in your scanf statements, as given below:

scanf("%[^\n]s", &details.name);

Sorry sir, 'copy and paste' is giving here like that. If you see there are scanf statements in the above code. Please use the following link for my code:

I have commented some of my other doubts in the code, sir. Please check them also.

The problem is, I am not able to enter the address and designation of the employee as user input.

Thank you

Here is something to help you out:

"The statement: scanf("%[^\n]%*c", s); will not work because the last statement will read a newline character, \n, from the previous line. This can be handled in a variety of ways. One way is to use scanf("\n"); before the last statement as given below:

printf("Please enter the address of the employee : ");

scanf("\n%[^\n]s", details.address);

printf("Please enter the designation of the employee : ");

scanf("\n%[^\n]s", details.desgn);

Problem is with scanf() statements

if you want to use multiple scanf() statements with strings then you need to use fgets() with scanf().

scanf("%[^\n]s", details.name);

fgets(details.address,100, stdin);
scanf("%[^\n]s", details.address);

fgets(details.desgn,100, stdin);
scanf("%[^\n]s", details.desgn);

scanf("%f", &details.salary);
