Datastructure (Sorting data)

Question

Hello there,

My teacher in programming require to make a phone book style using C language and I almost done this project and I trying to sort up some minor problems. Would somebody our there help me? (please try to run this program by your own to see what I mean and use the password written in the code): In ADD PERSONAL PROFILE section, when you input a data there it will save in the database and no problem with that. The problem is, when I try to DELETE PERSONAL PROFILE. I can delete it but the PROFILE number still there. I want it to be deleted also when I delete the data. Please give me suggestions and also how to use backspace when the user mistaken to type his password. Still I cannot figure out this. My teacher ask me to fix that. Lastly, could you give me ideas and suggestions to make my final project more user's friendly interface?

This coming Friday is my submission I hope that I have still time to modify this project.

Thank you for your time.

Looking forward to hear from you very soon.

The problem is, when I try to DELETE PERSONAL PROFILE. I can delete it but the PROFILE number still there. I want it to be deleted also when I delete the data.

You need to do one of two things to truly erase the data:

Overwrite the record in your file with default data (such as whitespace)
Rewrite your file and exclude the record you want to delete

The second option is usually best, but since rewriting the file is an intensive operation, it can make more sense (for smaller databases) to work with records in memory and write all changes en masse.

Please give me suggestions and also how to use backspace when the user mistaken to type his password. Still I cannot figure out this.

You need to recognize and properly handle the '\b' character. Note that with getch(), all of the conveniences of the shell are removed, so you have to implement even the smallest thing:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
 
int keybd_getc()
{
    return getch();
}
 
void keybd_putc(int ch)
{
    putch(ch);
}
 
void keybd_puts(const char *s)
{
    while (*s != '\0')
        keybd_putc(*s++);
}
 
char *get_password(char buf[], size_t limit)
{
    int done = 0;
    size_t i = 0;

    while (!done && i < limit - 1) {
        int ch = keybd_getc();
 
        switch (ch) {
        case '\r':
            keybd_putc('\n');
            done = 1;
            break;
        case '\b':
            if (i > 0) {
                --i;
                keybd_puts("\b \b");
            }
            break;
        default:
            buf[i++] = (char)ch;
            keybd_putc('*');
        }
    }
    
    buf[i] = '\0';
 
    return buf;
}
 
int main()
{
    char pass[BUFSIZ];
    
    fputs("Enter a password: ", stdout);
    fflush(stdout);

    get_password(pass, sizeof pass);
    printf("Password was '%s'\n", pass);
}

I'm confuse now because of many thing in my head.

Then simplify. If you're overwhelmed, throw stuff out until it becomes manageable. Once you have a bunch of manageable pieces working, putting them all together is easier.

Hello one thing, could you give me sample code how to sort out: when I add PERSONAL PROFILE then save it and I can DELETE PROFILE including PROFILE NUMBER. I'm confuse now because of many thing in my head.

Thank you.

Narue is right on the money here. The KISS principle is the foundation of good programming.
