how to read a char type structure member properly? the code below is not working properly.?

Question

#include
struct account
{
int accno;
char acctype;
char name_accholder[10];
float balance;
}s1,*pt;

main()
{
pt=&s1;

puts("enter accno type name of acc_holder balance");
scanf("%d%c%s%f",&pt->accno,&pt->acctype,
&pt->name_accholder,&pt->balance);

printf(" accno %d acctype %c name %s balance %f", pt->accno,pt->acctype,pt->name_accholder,pt->balance);
}

Answer 1

Do one thing try removing the "&" symbol from the scanf statement. Check if that is making any difference. I am doubting on that only.

Answer 2

scanf("%d %c %s %f" ,&pt->accno,&p...


this will solve your problem the spaces between the formatters will help scanf to recognise the input correctly else it takes the last key stroke(enter key) as an input for %c and crashes.

Answer 3

Be clear in ur ques. Is the char acctype is not printed properly or the name_accholder array?

Let me know the output which you got...
