Please help me to catch this error

I'm newdie in c programming. this is my first project in programming.
I have to write a program for a airline reservation. this is what i
have done yet. but when it runs it shows the number of seats as 0 and
the flight no. is also repeating. If any can tell why is this please
help me.

<snip>

The main function returns int, not void. The scanf function returns a
useful value, which you should check. The behaviour of fflush is
defined only for streams open for output or update, not for input. The
gets function is dangerous and should never, ever be used. Use fgets
instead (and read your documentation to understand how it works). Your
fscanf loop keeps overwriting previously-read values until it hits the
end of the file, which almost certainly is not what you want - look up
arrays. The feof function is almost never the right way to control a
file-reading loop. Check the return value of the file-reading function
instead.

Fix those, and let us know whether that fixed your problem.

I think my problem is in add and view functions.
Please help me.

Here are my comments.

(1) conio.h, clrscr, gotoxy [and I think getch() too] are not
portable. They are not working in my gcc compiler.
(2) When you open a file in a+ mode, by default file stream is at the
end thats the reason you are not able to read the records or view the
records as stream is already at the end. Go here for details on fopen.

http://www.codecogs.com/reference/st...hp?alias=fopen

When I changed the code to open the file in "r" mode I could view the
recodds. IMHO it would be better if you use just "\t" as delimiter and
not some complex string.

(3) fflush does not work on input streams. So fix it before you can
add.

Again many a times debugging by self gives more revelations about the
mistake and the learning from this way is going to be more permanent!

Well, so far you have used a nonexistent header (conio.h) and
failed to correctly declare main as returning an int. No further
reading need be done.

That should be int main(void). The fact that you have used void
main() indicates to me that you have not lurked here for any length of
time nor read the FAQ. This is very rude! When entering a newsgroup
for the first time it is customary (and expected) to read a month or
two of posts before posting (lurk) and also to read the newsgroup's
FAQ list. Please don't post to comp.lang.c again until you have done
so. You'll find the FAQ at http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html.

If the file can be opened, it is set to append, for writing at the

reading anything useful, you may need to reposition the file position
indicator for this stream.

All those tab escape sequences and spaces in the format string are
not necessary. If you need to skip white space, a single space will do
in the format string.
Also, be careful of posting long lines here. They have a tendancy to
wrap. You can break long strings up into shorter ones accross multiple
lines, and they will be concatenated by the preprocessor. For example:

The above four string literals will be concatenated into a single

>",&res_num,&name,&pass,&seat,

Since name, pass and flight are arrays of char and decay into
pointers to their initial elements, the & operators applied these are
entirely superfluous. In fact, they're just plain wrong. Leave them
out.
Also, you'll no doubt want to limit the number of characters that
can be stored in each of those arrays. So you're going to need field
width specifiers in your format string.

> &flight);

You're not doing anything with the data you've just read in. Why
bother reading it in, then?

> }while(!feof(sfile));

Using feof() isn't the best way of controlling an input loop. The
FAQ says why.
Remember, fscanf() returns a value. Use that to control your loop.
For example:

while(5 == fscanf(sfile, "%i %39s %7s %i %5s",
&res_name, name, pass, &seat, flight))
;

> res_num+=1;

}

Here ends your else clause. What follows is, then, always executed,
regardless of the if(...) statement above. Even things that rely on
the else clause being executed, such as closing the file (since the
else clause being executed relys on the file being successfully
opened).

BANG! Undefined behaviour! fflush() is defined to flush output to an
output stream. Passing an input stream, such as stdin, to fflush()
causes undefined behaviour.

> gets(name);

NEVER, never, never, never, never use gets(). It can never be used
safely. Read the FAQ, and use fgets() instead.

You're calling reserv() here? Are you sure that's what you want to
do? I see no reason reserv() should be recursive. Perhaps you just
want to return here, which would put you back in reserv() at the point
after add() was called.

If you'd use fscanf()'s return value to control the loop, you
wouldn't have to bother with this needless feof() test here. You
wouldn't need to bother with feof() at all. See the FAQ.

Poor indentation, confusing, making it harder to read and understand
the code. Please indent consistently. Don't mix tabs and spaces,
especially in Usenet. In fact, spaces are much prefered.
Also, see above about line wrapping and string concatenation.

> }

fclose(sfile);

Since this fclose() call is outside the else clause of the if(...)
statement, it is executed whether the file could be opened or not.
BANG! Undefined behaviour again, if the file failed to open!

What's all this rigmarole in aide of? Why annoy the user by making
him/her press "2" and "Enter" (without telling him/her about the
latter)? Just return. If you must wait, then just wait for "Enter".
For example:

printf("Press \"Enter\" to continue...\n");
skip2nl(stdin);

where skip2nl() could be defined as:

void skip2nl(FILE *fp)
{
int c;

while(EOF != (c = fgetc(fp)) && '\n' != c)
;
}

This would skip all input up to EOF or a newline in a given input
stream. This could be a very useful function, not just for waiting for
"Enter" to be pressed. But all your fflush(stdin)s can be replaced
with skip2nl(stdin). In fact, you could even make it better by
returning a value, so it could then indicate whether EOF has been
read. All you'd need to do is have it return c. Then a calling
function could test the return value for EOF, and take some
appropriate action. (But I digress.)

> reserv();

Again you're recursing into reserv(). What for? No doubt you really
just need to return.

Also, be careful of posting long lines here. They have a tendancy to

<snip>

The main function returns int, not void. The scanf function returns a
useful value, which you should check. The behaviour of fflush is
defined only for streams open for output or update, not for input. The
gets function is dangerous and should never, ever be used. Use fgets
instead (and read your documentation to understand how it works). Your
fscanf loop keeps overwriting previously-read values until it hits the
end of the file, which almost certainly is not what you want - look up
arrays. The feof function is almost never the right way to control a
file-reading loop. Check the return value of the file-reading function
instead.

Fix those, and let us know whether that fixed your problem.

The main function returns int, not void. The scanf function returns a
useful value, which you should check. The behaviour of fflush is
defined only for streams open for output or update, not for input. The
gets function is dangerous and should never, ever be used. Use fgets
instead (and read your documentation to understand how it works). Your
fscanf loop keeps overwriting previously-read values until it hits the
end of the file, which almost certainly is not what you want - look up
arrays. The feof function is almost never the right way to control a
file-reading loop. Check the return value of the file-reading function
instead.

Fix those, and let us know whether that fixed your problem.

Why it must int main. accoding to my knowladege it is not returning
any thing. Its only calling to another function.

Because that's the way the language is defined.

It should be returning an int. Not returning anything from main is a bug
in your program - one of many.

Because, that's how the Standard for C says it should be declared.

It *should* return an int value. That's one of the numerous problems
in your program. Unless you're prepared to learn when there's an
opportunity, you'll find programming very frustrating and, ultimately,
a failure.

What you want to do can be done with just the basics of C and a few
Standard library functions. The problem is that you're unwilling to
correct the errors and other ill-advised constructs in your code that
posters in this thread have repeatedly pointed out to you.

Your program, as it stands, is simply incorrect. If it appears to
work, be assured that it's only so by pure chance. At a minimum
correct the following:

1. Change the line 'void main(void)' to 'int main(void)' and place a
'return 0;' statement at the very end of the main function.

2. Remove all instances of 'fflush(stdin)'. It's undefined.

3. Replace all uses of gets(s) with fgets(s, SIZE_OF_S, stdin).

4. Check for end-of-file with the return value of the function you use
to read. It'll return EOF if end-of-file occurs.

5. Correct your use of fscanf. It keeps overwriting previous values.
Use an array instead of a single variable for holding the input.

If you don't know how to use any of the features I've listed above, or
how to correct your program, please ask, but simply posting the same
incorrect code again and again is not helping anyone.

main() returns an int value because that's how it is defined.

Very few C programs run as the sole activity of a computer. Those that
do are called "standalone" programs, and there are special rules
around the language features that are open to them.

The rest of the C program universe (a /much/ larger set of programs)
all run within the confines of some system (or systems) that arranges
for their execution and cleans up after they complete. Often, these
systems arrange subsequent processing based on whether or not the C
program accomplished it's task. Of course, this requires that the C
program be able to tell this larger environment whether it was
successful or not. That's what the int returned by main() is all
about.

The return value from main() provides this indicator of success or
failure. It can take one of three values (within the confines of the C
standard): EXIT_SUCCESS (which indicates that the C program succeeded
in it's task), EXIT_FAILURE (which indicates that the C program failed
in it's task), and 0 (which is interpreted as success, like
EXIT_SUCCESS). You will find EXIT_SUCCESS and EXIT_FAILURE defined in
the stdlib.h header.

Even in your (evidently) MSDOS environment, the environment can (and
frequently does) make decisions and take actions based on the success
or failure of the programs it initiates. Failure to return such an
indicator not only violates the C language standard, but endangers
your operating environment. If you do not return a value, there's no
telling what the environment will think happened, and it may make the
wrong decisions regarding futher processing.

So, besides the fact that you are required by the language to return a
value from main(), it is also a good idea to return a value from
main() no matter what your environment. If the value is unnecessary,
your environment will ignore it, but if the value /is/ necessary and
your program /does not/ return it, your environment may malfunction
and take the wrong actions.
