Check for bad practices/improvements - c

I'm relatively new to coding yet not completely inexperienced. Working on a school assignment regarding financial calculators. Would be great if any of you could take a look at my code for bad practices/possible improvements etc.
I did add a 'animated' startup (with a lot of printf to show "financial calculator" but couldn't fit it in, is it a good idea to do something like that?)
option_2 and option_4 are left as placeholders for the time being while my group works on other 2 calculators.

Replace your "scanf();" to "fgets();"
char *fgets(char *str, int n, FILE *stream)
Example:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
char Name[50];
int main(){
printf("What is your name?\n> ");
fgets(Name,50,stdin); //Gets user input from stdin (not from file)
/* But the problem is that fgets also includes '\n' so we put: */
Name[strcspn(Name,"\r\n")]=0; //Removes '\n'
printf("Your name is: <%s>\n",Name);
return 0;

Problem: Scholarship Endowment Fund Part 2 (fund2.c)

Problem: Scholarship Endowment Fund Part 2 (fund2.c)
How do I return back to main menu and add a counter for the total number of donations and investment made, here's what i got?
Then, your program should allow the user the following options:
Make a donation
Make an investment
Print balance of fund
Quit
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
//main functions
int main() {
// variables
int donation, investment, fund, total, tdonations, tinvestments;
// prompt user
printf("Welcome!\n");
printf("What is the initial balance of the fund\n");
scanf("%d", &fund);
int ans;
printf("What would you like to do?\n");
printf("\t1- Make a Donation\n");
printf("\t2- Make an investment\n");
printf("\t3- Print balance of fund\n");
printf("\t4- Quit\n");
scanf("%d", &ans);
if (ans == 1) {
printf("How much would you like to donate?\n");
scanf("%d", &donation);
}
if (ans == 2) {
printf("How much would you like to invest?\n");
scanf("%d", &investment);
return main();
}
if (ans == 3) {
total = donation + fund - investment;
if (total < fund) {
printf("You cannot make an investment of that amount\n");
return main();
}
else {
printf("The current balance is %d\n", total);
printf(" There have been %d donations and %d investments.\n", tdonations, tinvestments);
}
}
if (ans == 4) {
printf("Type 4 to quit\n");
}
else {
printf("Not a valid option.\n");
}
//switch
switch (ans) {
case 1:
printf("How much would you like to donate?\n");
scanf("%d", &donation);
return main();
case 2:
printf("How much would you like to invest\n");
scanf("%d", &investment);
return main();
case 3:
printf("The current balance is %d\n", total);
printf(" There have been %d donations and %d investments.\n", tdonations, tinvestments);
return main();
case 4:
break;
}
return 0;
}
You should put in a loop the part that you want to be repeated, using a varaible to decide when to stop.
here is an example, also in the switch costruct you should usa a default option, maybe to warn the user that the option they inserted is not valid.
int main() {
// variables
int donation, investment, fund, total, tdonations, tinvestments;
// prompt user
printf("Welcome!\n");
printf("What is the initial balance of the fund\n");
scanf("%d", &fund);
//loop until the user decide so
int exit = 0;
while(exit == 0){
int ans;
printf("What would you like to do?\n");
printf("\t1- Make a Donation\n");
printf("\t2- Make an investment\n");
printf("\t3- Print balance of fund\n");
printf("\t4- Quit\n");
scanf("%d", &ans);
//switch
switch (ans) {
case 1:
printf("How much would you like to donate?\n");
scanf("%d", &donation);
break;
case 2:
printf("How much would you like to invest\n");
scanf("%d", &investment);
break;
case 3:
total = donation + fund - investment;
if (total < fund) {
printf("You cannot make an investment of that amount\n");
}
else {
printf("The current balance is %d\n", total);
printf(" There have been %d donations and %d investments.\n", tdonations, tinvestments);
}
break;
case 4:
exit = 1;
break;
default:
printf("Incorrect option\n");
break;
}
}
return 0;
}

C Program are closing automatically

I created a C Program that will take all the order of the user then generate the grandtotal of the orders.
But when I will order another food, the program is closing automatically.
I don't know if this is about my getch or the breaks in my switch method. Sometimes, it will proceed to take another error but it automatically outputs "INVALID FOOD".
Here is my code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<conio.h>
void menu();
void foods();
void main();
char food;
int quantity;
float price;
float total;
float grandtotal;
int choice;
void main()
{
clrscr();
menu();
foods();
getch();
}
void menu(){
food = ' ';
quantity = 0;
price = 0;
total = 0;
choice = 0;
printf("Please select food from the following:\n");
printf(" B = Burger, F = French Fries, P = Pizza, S = Sandwiches \n");
printf("Enter food:");
scanf("%c", &food);
}
void foods(){
switch(food)
{
case 'B':
printf("You selected Burger!\n");
printf("Enter quantity:");
scanf("%d", &quantity);
price = 95.50;
printf("\n Do you want to order more? [1] Yes [2] No:");
scanf("%d", &choice);
total = price*quantity;
if(choice == 1){
menu();
break;
}
else if (choice == 2){
grandtotal = grandtotal + total;
printf("\n Total Price is: %0.2f", grandtotal);
break;
}
case 'F':
printf("You selected French Fries!\n");
printf("Enter quantity:");
scanf("%d", &quantity);
price = 47.75;
printf("\n Do you want to order more? [1] Yes [2] No:");
scanf("%d", &choice);
total = price*quantity;
if(choice == 1){
menu();
break;
}
else if (choice == 2){
grandtotal = grandtotal + total;
printf("\n Total Price is: %0.2f", grandtotal);
break;
}
case 'P':
printf("You selected French Pizza!\n");
printf("Enter quantity:");
scanf("%d", &quantity);
price = 105.00;
printf("\n Do you want to order more? [1] Yes [2] No:");
scanf("%d", &choice);
total = price*quantity;
if(choice == 1){
menu();
break;
}
else if (choice == 2){
grandtotal = grandtotal + total;
printf("\n Total Price is: %0.2f", grandtotal);
break;
}
case 'S':
printf("You selected Sandwiches\n");
printf("Enter quantity:");
scanf("%d", &quantity);
price = 75.50;
printf("\n Do you want to order more? [1] Yes [2] No:");
scanf("%d", &choice);
total = price*quantity;
if(choice == 1){
main();
break;
}
else if (choice == 2){
grandtotal = grandtotal + total;
printf("\n Total Price is: %0.2f", grandtotal);
break;
}
default:
printf("INVALID FOOD!");
break;
}
}
I wish someone could help or guide me. Thanks in advance.
In you code you have duplicated multiple times:
...
if(choice == 1){
menu();
break;
} ...
...
So when you choose choice = 1 then menu() get's displayed, and then the code breaks out of foods(). I think you meant to do the foods section again:
...
if(choice == 1){
menu();
foods();
break;
} ...
...
Yet another problem in your code is the %c scanf modifier. It will not eat up leading whitespaces, so it will read a newline (inputted on the last scanf). Use a leading space " %c" to tell scanf to read up leading whitespaces and ignore the leading newline, in scanf(" %c", &food);
Indent your code.
Don't duplicate statements. The whole scanf(... &choice); if (choice == 1) ... else if (choice == 2) could be placed outside the while switch not beeing duplicated 4 times.
Nesting functions using recursive calls can make your stack run out. Better just use a while loop.
Try not to use global variables. They are misleading and lead to maintainable code.
A slightly modified version of you code with a bit of indententation, added a do ... while loop and removed global variables and code duplication, may look like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <conio.h>
char menu(void);
float foods(char food);
void main()
{
clrscr();
float grandtotal = 0;
int choice = 0;
do {
// print menu and choose the food
char food = menu();
// choose food quantity and get it's price
float total = foods(food);
// print the total price
grandtotal = grandtotal + total;
printf("\n Total Price is: %0.2f", grandtotal);
// do you want to continue?
printf("\n Do you want to order more? [1] Yes [2] No:");
if (scanf("%d", &choice) != 1) {
perror("scanf error");
abort();
}
// continue until choice is equal to 1
} while (choice != 1);
}
char menu(void)
{
char food;
printf("Please select food from the following:\n");
printf(" B = Burger, F = French Fries, P = Pizza, S = Sandwiches \n");
printf("Enter food:");
if (scanf(" %c", &food) != 1) {
perror("scanf error");
abort();
}
return food;
}
float foods(char food){
float price = 0;
switch (food) {
case 'B':
printf("You selected Burger!\n");
price = 95.50;
break;
case 'F':
printf("You selected French Fries!\n");
price = 47.75;
break;
case 'P':
printf("You selected French Pizza!\n");
price = 105.00;
break;
case 'S':
printf("You selected Sandwiches\n");
price = 75.50;
break;
default:
fprintf(stderr, "INVALID FOOD!\n");
abort();
}
printf("Enter quantity:");
int quantity;
if (scanf("%d", &quantity) != 1) {
perror("scanf error");
abort();
}
return (float)price * (float)quantity;
}
When you call menu after user input is [1] yes. with menu() function show menu and after menu you should show call food() function.

Compiler error which I am unable to locate

I'm getting an error which I am not able to resolve. I've gone through my code thoroughly with no success. What am I doing wrong? See code below.
Compiler error:
In function 'main':
ou1.c:49:1: error: expected 'while' before 'printf'
printf("End of program!\n");
^
My code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
int choice;
float price, sum, SUMusd;
float rate =1;
printf("Your shopping assistant");
do{
printf("1. Set exchange rate in usd (currency rate:%f)\n", rate);
printf("2. Read prices in the foreign currency\n");
printf("3. End\n");
printf("\n");
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1:
printf("Give exchange rate: \n");
scanf("%f", &rate);
break;
case 2:
do{
printf("Give price(finsh with < 0)\n");
scanf("%f", &price);
sum =+ price;
}while(price <= 0);
SUMusd = sum*rate;
printf("Sum in foreign currency: %f", sum);
printf("Sum in USD:%f", SUMusd);
break;
default:
printf("Invalid choice\n");
break;
}while(choice != 3);
}
printf("End of program!\n");
return 0;
}
The curly braces of the switch statement need to be closed before the while loop termination.
printf("Invalid choice\n");
break;
}
}while(choice != 3);
printf("End of program!\n");
Corrected full code sample
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
int choice;
float price, sum, SUMusd;
float rate =1;
printf("Your shopping assistant");
do{
printf("1. Set exchange rate in usd (currency rate:%f)\n", rate);
printf("2. Read prices in the foreign currency\n");
printf("3. End\n");
printf("\n");
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1:
printf("Give exchange rate: \n");
scanf("%f", &rate);
break;
case 2:
do{
printf("Give price(finsh with < 0)\n");
scanf("%f", &price);
sum =+ price;
}while(price <= 0);
SUMusd = sum*rate;
printf("Sum in foreign currency: %f", sum);
printf("Sum in USD:%f", SUMusd);
break;
default:
printf("Invalid choice\n");
break;
}
}while(choice != 3);
printf("End of program!\n");
return 0;
}

Uppercases the choice configuring balances
if (configureMenuChoice == 'A') {

This adds directly to the balance
scanf("%i", &deposit);
*balance = *balance + *deposit;
}

CLS;
currentBalance(*balance); // displays current balance, made a functino so it can be used at will
}
}//end conFigureBalance
void currentBalance(int *balance) {
printf("Your current balance is: %i\n", &balance);
}//end checkBalance
Change this:
scanf("%i", &deposit);
to this:
scanf("%i", deposit);
since deposit is of type int* in that context (the body of the function configureBalance).
It's the same logic as followed here: scanf("%c", userChoice);, so I wonder how you missed it.

Menu system in c

I'm having serious trouble with my program it is supposed to provide a menu and do all the functions the code is pretty explanatory my problem is I only have visual studios which doesnt allow scanf and scanf_s and messes with things so I use online compilers but those are still iffy. Can any one help and give me some tips. I'm having trouble with the math and function to list accounts, some whiles are empty as well I wasn't sure if that was best to use. I'm relatively new to this forum. It also can't have struct and can only be in C :-(
#include <stdio.h>
char name[20];
float avail_bal;
void options();
void open();
void list();
void deposit();
void withdraw();
void exit();
int main(void)
{
char option;
while(1){
printf("****Banking System WELCOME****\n");
printf("Enter 1-5 of the following options: \n");
option = getchar();
scanf("%c\n", &option);
switch(option)
{
case '1': open();
break;
case '2': list();
break;
case '3': deposit();
break;
case '4': withdraw();
break;
case '5': return 0;
default: exit();
break;
}
}
return 0;
}
void options()
{
printf("1. Open Account\n");
printf("2. List Accounts\n");
printf("3. Deposit\n");
printf("4. Withdraw\n");
printf("5. Exit");
}
void open()
{
float avail_bal = 0;
char name[20];
int acc_num;
printf("Open new account(enter number 1-5)\n\n");
scanf("%d", &acc_num);
printf("Account number: %d\n");
printf("Available balance: %f\n");
}
void list()
{
}
void deposit()
{
float add;
int acc_num;
printf("Which count do you want to deposit money in?");
scanf(" %d", &acc_num);
printf("Amount to deposit: ");
scanf("%f", &add);
while()
{
}
}
void withdraw()
{
int acc_num;
float withdraw;
printf("Account to withdraw from: ");
scanf("%d", &acc_num);
printf("Amount to withdraw from account: ")
scanf("%f", &withdraw);
while()
{
printf("Current balance for account %d: %f ");
break;
} acc_num++
}
The problem with scanf was interesting. Here is an example for how to do without (although you shouldn't) such that you can play with your code easier.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// only 5 accounts possible
int accounts[5];
// each its balance
float avail_bal[5];
void options();
// open(P) is a standard Posix function
void bopen();
void list();
void deposit();
void withdraw();
// exit(3) is a standard C function
void pexit();
int main(void)
{
char option;
while (1) {
printf("****Banking System WELCOME****\n");
printf("Enter 1-5 of the following options: \n");
options();
option = getc(stdin);
// swallow the '\n'
getc(stdin);
switch (option) {
case '1':
bopen();
break;
case '2':
list();
break;
case '3':
deposit();
break;
case '4':
withdraw();
break;
case '5':
pexit();
default:
pexit();
}
}
return 0;
}
void options()
{
puts("1. Open Account");
puts("2. List Accounts");
puts("3. Deposit");
puts("4. Withdraw");
puts("5. Exit");
}
void bopen()
{
int acc_num;
char c;
puts("Open new account(enter number 1-5)");
c = getc(stdin);
getc(stdin);
// assuming ASCII here where the digits 0-9 start at place 48 in the table
acc_num = (int) c - 48;
if (acc_num < 1 || acc_num > 5) {
puts("Account number must be between one and five inclusive");
return;
}
if (accounts[acc_num] != 0) {
printf("Account number %d is already taken\n", acc_num);
return;
}
// mark account as taken
accounts[acc_num] = 1;
// spend a fiver for the new client for being a new client
avail_bal[acc_num] = 5.0;
printf("Account number: %d\n", acc_num);
printf("Available balance: %f\n", avail_bal[acc_num]);
}
void list()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
if (accounts[i] != 0) {
printf("Account 000%d: %f\n", i, avail_bal[i]);
}
}
}
void deposit()
{
float add;
int acc_num;
char c;
char s[100];
puts("Which account do you want to deposit money in?");
c = getc(stdin);
getc(stdin);
acc_num = (int) c - 48;
printf("Amount to deposit: ");
// to get a number without scanf() we have to read the input as a string
// (fgets() adds a '\0' at the end, so keep a seat free for it)
fgets(s, 99, stdin);
// and convert it to a double (atof() only for brevity, use strtod() instead)
add = atof(s);
avail_bal[acc_num] += add;
printf("Amount deposited %f\n", add);
}
void withdraw()
{
int acc_num;
float withdraw;
char c;
char s[100];
// all checks ommitted!
puts("Account to withdraw from: ");
c = getc(stdin);
getc(stdin);
acc_num = (int) c - 48;
puts("Amount to withdraw from account: ");
fgets(s, 99, stdin);
withdraw = atof(s);
avail_bal[acc_num] -= withdraw;
printf("Current balance for account %d: %f\n", acc_num, avail_bal[acc_num]);
}
void pexit()
{
// place logic to save data here or use a function triggered by atexit() for that task
puts("Imagine all of your data would have been put in a safe place!");
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
Just replace the constructs with scanf before you pass your work for grading.
If you're using integer values as options why you are using character's
#include <stdio.h>
char name[20];
float avail_bal;
void options();
void open();
void list();
void deposit();
void withdraw();
void exit();
int main(void)
{
int option;
printf("****Banking System WELCOME****\n");
void options();
printf("Enter 1-5 of the following options: \n");
scanf("%d",&option);
switch(option)
{
case 1: open();
break;
case 2: list();
break;
case 3: deposit();
break;
case 4: withdraw();
break;
case 5: return 0;
default: exit();
break;
}
return 0;
}
void options()
{
printf("1. Open Account\n");
printf("2. List Accounts\n");
printf("3. Deposit\n");
printf("4. Withdraw\n");
printf("5. Exit");
}
void open()
{
float avail_bal = 0;
char name[20];
int acc_num;
printf("Open new account(enter number 1-5)\n\n");
scanf("%d", &acc_num);
printf("Account number: %d\n");
printf("Available balance: %f\n");
}
void list()
{
}
void deposit()
{
float add;
int acc_num;
printf("Which count do you want to deposit money in?");
scanf(" %d", &acc_num);
printf("Amount to deposit: ");
scanf("%f", &add);
while()
{
}
}
void withdraw()
{
int acc_num;
float withdraw;
printf("Account to withdraw from: ");
scanf("%d", &acc_num);
printf("Amount to withdraw from account: ")
scanf("%f", &withdraw);
while()
{
printf("Current balance for account %d: %f ");
break;
} acc_num++
}
