Structure File Record

The document describes a C program that defines a struct for student records and implements file I/O to write and read these records. It prompts the user for multiple student details, writes them to a binary file, and then reads from that file to display the records. Sample input and output are provided to illustrate the program's functionality.

Program: Write and Read Records Using struct and File I/O

Defines a struct for a student record.

Takes multiple records from the user and writes them to a file.

Reads those records back from the file and displays them.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct Student {
int id;
char name[50];
float marks;
};

int main() {
FILE *fp;
struct Student s;
int n, i;

// Writing records
fp = fopen("students.dat", "wb"); // open in binary write
mode
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}

printf("Enter number of students: ");


scanf("%d", &n);

for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {


printf("\nEnter details for student %d\n", i + 1);
printf("ID: ");
scanf("%d", &s.id);
printf("Name: ");
scanf(" %[^\n]", s.name); // read string with spaces
printf("Marks: ");
scanf("%f", &s.marks);

fwrite(&s, sizeof(s), 1, fp); // write record to file


}

fclose(fp);
printf("\nRecords written successfully.\n");

// Reading records
fp = fopen("students.dat", "rb"); // open in binary read
mode
if (fp == NULL) {
perror("Error opening file");
return 1;
}

printf("\nReading records from file:\n");

while (fread(&s, sizeof(s), 1, fp)) {


printf("\nID: %d\nName: %s\nMarks: %.2f\n", s.id,
s.name, s.marks);
}

fclose(fp);
return 0;
}
