how to insert structure in a btree - c

Question

I have a B-tree that can insert values in, how can i modify it to insert a structure (as shown) instead of a key; I have to use roll number and have to access the structure name from structure node. How can i do it?
struct name
{
char first_name[16];
char last_name[16];
int roll_number;
};
where name is a array of structure. So far I've written code to insert the structure elements, but i am unable to proceed further; please help me out.
#define M 3;
struct node
{
int n; /* n < M No. of keys in node will always less than order of Btree */
struct node *p[M]; /* (n+1 pointers will be in use) */
int key[M-1]; /*array of names*/
} *root=NULL;
enum KeyStatus { Duplicate,SearchFailure,Success,InsertIt,LessKeys };
void insert(int key);
void display(struct node *root,int);
enum KeyStatus ins(struct node *r, int x, int* y, struct node** u);
int searchPos(int x,int *key_arr, int n);
main()
{
int choice,key;
printf("Creation of B tree for node %d\n",M);
while(1) {
printf("1.Insert\n");
printf("2.Quit\n");
printf("Enter your choice : ");
scanf("%d",&choice);
switch(choice) {
case 1:
printf("Enter the value : ");
scanf("%d",key);
insert(key);
break;
case 2:
exit(1);
default:
printf("Wrong choice\n");
break;

Answer 1

In your definition of node, you should be able to just replace struct key with struct name, and use something like root->name->roll_number for your comparisons. There might be some other clean-up to do, but that's the basic idea.
