I need the user to input a book title then price, once that is done when the user searches for the book it displays the title and price that the user has made. Right now its showing weird numbers when displaying the price for book.

Also how would I draw this into a structure diagram?

Problem #1:
Your DisplayMenu() function is doing way too much work. It should simply display the menu. The rest of the code in that function should be in another function.

Problem #2:
Your DisplayMenu() function calls itself (called recursion) which is dangerous in this type of program. Unless you must, never call a function from itself just to start it over. Exit the function and put the original call within a loop.

Problem#3:
If you don't want garbage in your price value, look at what you loaded into the allPrices array during your read.

Thank you for replying, I want to ask you have you tried running the code. If not please try and tell me what I can do to fix the issue of the long number displaying.

No I didn't, and I don't need to. Look at my point#3 and your code. Figure out what you are trying to do and what you did that didn't work properly. It's all right there in 5 lines of code. I already gave you a HUGE hint.

hmmm.... temp2???
