why does the age in the search function not printing? - c

I was asked to make a hash table program which input name and age. I declared name and age as char. While doing the search function, I need to print the name and the age but the age do not print. What is wrong with my code?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<ctype.h>
int n;
int count;
struct data
{
char name [100];
char age[5];
struct data *next;
};
struct data *chain[100000];
struct data* insert(char name[], char age[]){
struct data *curr = (struct data*) malloc (sizeof(data));
strcpy(curr->name, name);
strcpy(curr->age, age);
curr->next = NULL;
return curr;
};
//hash function
int hashing(char name[]){
int first = name[0];
return first % n;
}
//buat tau di index ke x dia data ke brp
void add(struct data *newNode){
int hash = hashing(newNode->name);
printf("index->%d\n", hash);
if(chain[hash] == NULL){
chain[hash] = newNode;
}
else
{
struct data *temp = chain[hash];
while(temp->next != NULL){
temp = temp->next;
//count++;
}
count++;
temp->next = newNode;
//count++;
}
printf("data-> %d\n", count);
}
void view(){
for(int i = 0 ; i < n ; i ++)
{
int count = 0;
if(chain[i]!=NULL){
printf("=== index %d data ===\n", i );
struct data *temp = chain[i];
while(temp!=NULL){
printf("data %d\n", count);
printf("name=%s age=%s\n", temp->name, temp->age);
temp = temp->next;
count ++;
}
}
}
printf("\n");
}
void search(int hash){
char age[5];
char search[100];
printf("Search name:");
scanf(" %[^\n]s", search);
int key = hashing(search);
printf("Search data %s from index %d data....\n", search, key);
if(strcmp(chain[key]->name, search)==0){
printf("data found at node %d\n", key);
printf("name = %s age = %s\n", search, age);
}
else
{
struct data *temp = chain[key];
while(temp->next!=NULL){
if(strcmp(chain[key]->name, search)==0){
printf("data found at node %d\n", key);
printf("name = %s age = %s\n", search, age);
}
temp = temp->next;
}
if(strcmp(temp->name, search)==0 && temp->next==NULL){
printf("data found at node %d\n", key);
printf("name = %s age = %s\n", search, age);
}
else{
printf("no data found!\n");
}
}
}
//void remove(int hash){
// //int key = item->key;
// int hash = hashing(key);
// int option;
// printf("input option:");
// scanf("%d", &option);
// char search[100];
// printf("delete name:");
// scanf(" %[^\n]s", search);
// int first = search[0];
// int key = first % n;
// printf("Search data %s from index %d data....\n", search, key);
// if(chain[key]==hash){
// chain[key]=-1;
// }
// else
// {
// printf("try");
// }
//}
int main(){
char name[100];
char age[5];
printf("input the number of hash table: ");
scanf("%d", &n); getchar();
struct data *chain[n];
int chainSize[n]={0};
printf("\n");
int option;
do{
printf("=== Option Menu ===\n");
printf("1. insert data\n");
printf("2. delete data\n");
printf("3. search data\n");
printf("4. view data\n");
printf("5. exit\n");
printf("input option: ");
scanf("%d", &option); getchar();
switch(option){
case 1:{
printf("input name: ");
scanf(" %[^\n]s", name);
printf("input age: ");
scanf(" %[^\n]s", age);
add(insert(name,age));
printf("\n");
break;
}
case 2:
{
//remove();
break;
}
case 3:
{
search(n);
break;
}
case 4:
{
view();
break;
}
}
}while(option!=5);
}
the output is like this
name = hansol
age =
when it is supposed to be like this:
name = hansol
age = 23
so the age variable does not print while doing the search function

How to call string in singly linked list in C

Here is my struct
struct Student
{
int numberofstudents;
float mid,prj,final,hmw;
int lettergrade;
int studentnumber;
char name[40];
char lastname[40];
int birthyear;
float totalgrade;
struct Student *next;
}* head;
And I have a function like this
void searchbylastname(char *lastname)
{
struct Student * temp = head;
while(temp!=NULL)
{
if(temp->lastname == lastname){
printf("Student Number: %d\n", temp->studentnumber);
printf("Name: %s\n", temp->name);
printf("Surname: %s\n", temp->lastname);
printf("Birth Year: %d\n", temp->birthyear);
printf("Total Grade: %0.2f\n", temp->totalgrade);
return;
}
temp = temp->next;
}
printf("Student with student number %s is not found !!!\n", lastname);
}
I'm calling it in main with switch case
head = NULL;
int choice;
char name[50];
char lastname[50];
int birthyear;
int studentnumber;
float totalgrade;
float prj,hmw,mid,final;
case 6:
printf("Enter student lastname to search: ");
scanf("%s", &lastname);
searchbylastname(lastname);
break;
but it cannot search by last name, it's automatically direct me here;
printf("Student with student number %s is not found !!!\n", lastname);
I don't know what to do, if anyone has an opinion, I would really appreciate it.
== does not compare strings in C only the references (addresses) of those strings. If they do not reference the same object they always will be different.
To compare strings you need to use strcmp function.
https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strncmp.3.html
You have more problems in your code. Even if you use strcmp it will display the message that the student has not been found. If you may have more students having the same surmane (which rather expected you need add a flag)
void searchbylastname(char *lastname)
{
struct Student * temp = head;
int studentsFound = 0;
while(temp!=NULL)
{
if(!strcmp(temp->lastname,lastname)){
stutentsFound = 1;
printf("Student Number: %d\n", temp->studentnumber);
printf("Name: %s\n", temp->name);
printf("Surname: %s\n", temp->lastname);
printf("Birth Year: %d\n", temp->birthyear);
printf("Total Grade: %0.2f\n", temp->totalgrade);
}
temp = temp->next;
}
if(!studentsFound)
printf("Students having %s surname have not been found !!!\n", lastname);
}

Why does my code skip over certain nodes?

I'm writing this code to store data records of students' first name, last name, scores and zip codes. I have almost everything done but my Print() function doesn't print the first element of node 2(first name of 2nd student) and turns into an infinite loop when I input ore than 2 nodes, what am i doing wrong?

The Insert function is holding a reference to freed data:

Attempting to use the storage referenced by tail after it's been freed is an error.

Linked List With Float not Outputting Correctly

So this program is supposed to create a linked list for a car with the information of the year, Safety Rating, and Model. However when outputting the safety rating, say if the user enters "5", the program outputs it as some very large number that isn't what the user entered.
Example: If the user enters
Enter Year for Car: 1992
Enter Rating for Car (0.00 - 100.00): 25.5
Enter Model for Car: Chevy
The program output is...
The Cars in the List Are As Follows:
Year:1992 Rating:79960111893652368676401906121179136.00 Model:Chevy
When it should be....
The Cars in the List Are As Follows:
Year:1992 Rating:25.50 Model:Chevy
What am I doing wrong? Here is my full code...

You're not allocating any space for the car model string. You're scanf("%s", &infoC);, but infoC is a single char, there's no space for a string. That's overwriting something and probably mucking with things. Then you go strcpy when you make your car, that will copy until it hits a NULL byte. ,, etc, etc, ,, UB. Best to define it as char infoC[MAXSIZE] to match what you have in struct car.

Trouble printing linked list elements in C

I am trying to create a print function for my linked list program.

Linked list program in C

I am coding for a simple linked list , but facing a little problem. The program is like it is accepting name, age and DOB through user, and memory for it is dynamically allocated. After taking data from the user, it is searching a name, asked by user, if the name exists, it should print all the details related to it.
Here is my code-
//function declarations
struct node *initnode(char *, char *, char *);
void add(struct node *);
struct node *printnode(struct node *);
struct node *searchname(struct node *, char *);
struct node {
char name[25];

struct node *head = (struct node *) NULL;
struct node *initnode(char *name, char *age, char *dob1)

struct node *ptr;
ptr = (struct node *) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
if (ptr == NULL)
return (struct node *) NULL;
else {
strcpy(ptr->name, name);
strcpy(ptr->age, age);
strcpy(ptr->dob, dob1);
ptr->next = NULL;
return ptr;
}
}
struct node *printnode(struct node *ptr)
{
printf("Name -> %s\n", ptr->name);
printf("age -> %s \n", ptr->age);
printf("dob ->%s\n", ptr->dob);
return ptr;
}
void add(struct node *newp)
{
struct node *temp = (struct node *) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
if (head == NULL)
head = newp;
else {
for (temp = head; temp->next != NULL; temp = temp->next);
temp->next = newp;
temp = newp;
}
free(temp);
}
struct node *searchname(struct node *ptr, char *name1)
{
if (strcmp(name1, ptr->name) == 0) {

char dob[10];
int i;
int flag = 1;
struct node *ptr;
do {
fflush(stdin);
while (flag != 0) {
printf("Enter name -- ");
gets(name);
for (i = 0; name[i] != '\0'; i++)

}
}

printf("Error in user input, dob should be in numbers\n");
flag = 1;
break;
} else
flag = 0;
}
}
flag = 1;
ptr = initnode(name, age, dob);
add(ptr);
printf("\n Do you want to continue?<Y/N>:\n ");
scanf("%s", &rep);
//rep = getchar();
}
while (rep == 'Y' || rep == 'y');

ptr = searchname(head, name1);
} else {
printf("\n goodbye \n");
}
}
while (rep == 'Y' || rep == 'y');
return 0;
}
The issue is that it is searching for the first entry only and not others, can anyone help me to sort out this? I am compiling through "gcc".
At a first glance, your search function is only comparing one element, the head of the list.
After comparing one element you must go to the next element. This can either be done recursively or with a while:
Recursive use:
struct node *searchname(struct node *ptr, char *name1)
{
if (ptr==NULL) //Reached end of the list
{
printf("\n name not found in the database \n");
return NULL;
}
if (strcmp(name1, ptr->name) == 0) { //found the element
printf("\n name found \n");
printf("\n details are -\n");
printnode(ptr);
return ptr;
} else { //search next element
return searchname(ptr->next,name1); //this will call your function again for the next element on the list
}
}
While use:
struct node *searchname(struct node *ptr, char *name1)
{
struct node *aux; // usually i use an auxiliary pointer in order to avoid unwanted overwrite at my pointer.
aux = ptr;
while (aux!=NULL)
{
if (strcmp(name1, aux->name) == 0) { //found the element
printf("\n name found \n");
printf("\n details are -\n");
printnode(aux);
return aux;
}
else { //move pointer to next element
aux=aux->next;
}
}
//if it reaches this point, the element was not found
printf("\n name not found in the database \n");
return NULL;
}
Check your add function, it is wrong. Step mentally through it, and see what happens
to your pointer, and to the memory it points to.
What are the malloc and free used for in the add function?
