loops for structures
main()
{
structure perdata //MADE A STRUCTURE
{
char name;
int age;
float salary;
}p1,p2,p3;
int i;
for(i=1;i<4;i++)
{
printf("p%d.name",i);
scanf("%s",);/*should loop and read names of p1,p2,p3*/
}
printf("p1.name:%s",p1.name);
getch();
}

Answer 1

You should use array of structures so that you may iterate through it.
Example : An array of student structure,
#include <stdio.h>
struct student{
char name[50];
int roll;
float marks;
};
int main(){
struct student s[10]; //Ten student details maybe stored
int i;
printf("Enter information of students:\n");
//get the details of 10 students
for(i=0;i<10;++i)
{
s[i].roll=i+1;
printf("\nFor roll number %d\n",s[i].roll);
printf("Enter name: ");
scanf("%s",s[i].name);
printf("Enter marks: ");
scanf("%f",&s[i].marks);
printf("\n");
}
//display the details of 10 students
printf("Displaying information of students:\n\n");
for(i=0;i<10;++i)
{
printf("\nInformation for roll number %d:\n",i+1);
printf("Name: ");
puts(s[i].name);
printf("Marks: %.1f",s[i].marks);
}
return 0;
}
Use the above sample code & write your program.

Always make arrays of structures, classes etc. whenever you need to loop through instances.
int main(void)
{
struct perdata //MADE A STRUCTURE
{
char name[20];
int age;
float salary;
};
struct perdata p[4];
for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
{
//printf("p%d.name",i);
scanf("%s", &p[i].name);/*should loop and read names of p1,p2,p3*/
}
for(int i=0;i<4;i++)
{
printf("p%d.name:%s\n",i+1, p[i].name);
}
getch();
}
