Struct and sort based on a field - how do I do that ?
I have the following code.
I need to find the highest scorer & dysplay that.
How do I include a sort system - perhaps a bubble sort to dysplay the info ?
My full code:
/*========================
#include <iostream.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#define team 5
struct player_rec {
char name[15];
int score;
int rebounds;
int assists;
}stars[team]; /*declering a global structure type*/
void findmax(struct player_rec *pt); /*Function Prototype */
main()
{
struct player_rec stars[team]={ {"sam",10,6,2}, {"dan",12,9,1}, {"jim",2,10,0},{"james",0,
int i,maxscore;
for(i=0; i<team; i++)
/* **************************
maxscore = stars[0].score; /* NOTE: IF i delete this stub of code, i get 5 player's record.*/
if (stars[i].score < maxscore) /* but i need the best scorer's record only.*/
stars[i].score = maxscore ; /* so i have to fix this portion of the code.*/
/*************************
findmax(stars + i);/* calling this function will traverse entire array
* and find best scorer*/
return;
};
void findmax(struct player_rec *pt) /* Function Header*/
{
printf("the maximum scorer is:%s\n",pt->name);
printf("the maximum score is:%d\n", pt->score);
printf("the maximum rebound is:%d\n",pt->rebounds);
return ;
}

Have you tested it? Maybe you can explain us why.

what was bugging me was:
maxscore = stars[0].score;
for(i=0; i<team; i++) {
if (stars[i].score >= maxscore)
themax = i;
}
in this loop, maxscore is never updated, so you will just find any player with more points than star 0.
maxscore = stars[0].score;
for(i=0; i<team; i++) {
if (stars[i].score >= maxscore)
themax = i;
}
in this loop, maxscore is never updated, so you will just find any player with more points than star 0.
int i,bestplayer; // index of player with the highest score
bestplayer = 0;
for(i=1; i<team; i++) {
if (stars[i].score > stars[bestplayer].score)
bestplayer = i;
}
