does anyone know whats wrong with my function?
void quarter(detailstype info[])
{
int i,j;
for(i=1; i<4; i++)
{
printf("for month: %d", info[i].month);
for(j=1; j<emp; j++)
{
info[i].qt1=info[j].sal_amount+info[i].qt1;
}
printf("%f", info[i].qt1);
}
}it is giving me this error: error C2111: pointer addition requires integral operand
You need to post that structure
typedef struct{
char first_name[20];
char last_name[20];
int emp_id;
float qt1[3];
float qt2[3];
float qt3[3];
float qt4[3];
int month;
float sal_amount;
float total;
} detailstype;
Line 9
info.qt1 is an array, you can't perform assignment or most mathematical operations on an array. The expression info.qt1 returns a pointer to the first element of the array and the code tries to add that to info[j].sal_amount which is a float and so this is an illegal operation.
The following mathematical operations on a pointer are possible.
Addition of an integer
Subtraction of an integer
Difference (subtract of) between 2 pointers
P.S. Line 4 creates indexes from 1 to 3 inclusive. However in C arrays are indexed from 0 (however that may be intentional).
Also where is value for the variable emp on line 7 coming from ?
