This program needs to create, sort, and search a novel array. Each novel in the collection will have the following attributes:
Title
Author
Publishing Year
Number of Pages

The novels I will be sorting are in a file called data.txt

I need to use bubble sort to sort the array based on the year in increasing order.

In the program the user is asked to input a year and then binary search needs to be used to find and display all books published in that year.


so far I have this much of the code but I need help with my functions and implementation.

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

#define BOOKNUM 10

struct book
{
char title[50];
char author[50];
int year;
int pages;
};

typedef struct book BOOK;

void extractString(char* input, char output[50])
{
/* i need code here */

}

int extractInt(char* input)
{

/* i need code here */
}
void showbook(BOOK book)
{

printf("TITLE: %s \n", book.title);
printf("AUTHOR: %s \n", book.author);
printf("YEAR: %d \n", book.year);
printf("PAGES: %d \n", book.pages);
}

void show(BOOK books[BOOKNUM])
{
int i ;
for(i=0; i<BOOKNUM; i++)
{
printf("----------------------------\n")...
showbook(books[i]);
}
printf("----------------------------\n")...
}
void load(FILE* fp, BOOK books[BOOKNUM])
{
char value[50];
int count=0;
while(!feof(fp))
{

fgets(value, 50, fp);

extractString(value, books[count].title);
fgets(value, 50, fp);

extractString(value, books[count].author);
fgets(value, 50, fp);

books[count].year = extractInt(value);
fgets(value, 50, fp);

books[count].pages = extractInt(value);
count++;
}

}

void bubblesort(BOOK books[BOOKNUM])
{

/* i need code here */
}
int binarysearch(BOOK books[BOOKNUM], int year)
{
/* i need code here */
}


int main()
{
BOOK books[BOOKNUM];
int year = 0;
FILE* fp = fopen("data.txt", "r");
load(fp, books);
bubblesort(books);
printf("after sorting\n");
show(books);
printf("Please input Year: "); scanf("%d", &year);

if(binarysearch(books, year)==0)
printf("NO SUCH BOOK");

return 0;
}

A first post homework dump.
Try filling in the functions a little.
