Atm machine program in C

[techking]

Hello everyone I am a student who is in big trouble. I have a ATM machine program that i need to write in C but the problem is that my teacher wants us to use file IO and he didnt teach us how to use it. below is my program. I am desperately begging for help.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
int main()
{
   char  option,pin,transaction;
   int deposit, withdraw;
   option='0';
 
 
 
    printf("WELCOME TO SAMUEL'S BANK\n");
    printf("------------------------------\n\n");
    printf("Main Menu\n");
    printf("------------------------------\n");
    printf("1)Enter Pin #\n");
    printf("2)Exit\n");
    printf("------------------------------\n\n");
    scanf("%c", &option);
 
 
 
 
 
 
        {
            system ("cls");
            printf("Pin Number Verification\n");
            printf("------------------------------\n\n");
            printf("Please enter your pin number: ");
            scanf("%s", &pin);
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
            //if(inputfile ==NULL)
            {
                printf("Unable to open input file\n");
            }
            return 1;
 
 
            system ("cls");    
            printf("Transactions\n");
            printf("------------------------------\n");
            printf("1)Deposit\n2)Withdraw\n3)Statement\n4)Exit\n");
            printf("------------------------------\n");
            scanf("%s",&transaction);
        }
 
 
 
 
                    if (transaction =='1')
 
                        {
                            system ("cls");
                            printf("Deposit\n");
                            printf("------------------------------\n\n");
                            printf("Please enter the amount of money you would like to deposit: ");
                            scanf("%d", &deposit);
                    }
 
                    if (transaction =='2')
 
                        {
                            system ("cls");
                            printf("Withdraw\n");
                            printf("------------------------------\n\n");
                            printf("Please enter the amount of money you would like to withdraw: ");
                            scanf("%d", &withdraw);
                        }
 
                    if (transaction=='3')
 
                        {
                            system ("cls");
                            printf("Statement\n");
                            printf("------------------------------\n\n");
                        }
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
return 0;
 
 
}

But what help u need?
File IO means you want to get the input/ouput from a file instead of STDIO?

Yes sir but the problem is hat i do not konw how to use file io so i wanted to get help with it.

[techking]

I was not properly thought how to use file io so i wanted help with it becaue we have to use arrays with teh file io too.

Are you able to get this working using arrays?

Next write a function to load your arrays. Pass in the array addresses and have the function install hard-coded values.

Next, get the program working. You just call the function to load the hard-coded values into the arrays.

After the program is working, replace the guts of the funciton with logic that reads a disc file and stores the data in the arrays.

Hey first of all i would like to thank you for responding. I would like to ask you if you had an example of arrays because i wasnt properly thought on how to use it.

[weaknessforcats]

There is an article named Arrays Revealed in the C/C++ HowTos that containes exactly what you want.

Unfortunuately, due to a recent site upgrade the HowTos are not working right now.

I tried to attach it to this post but it is too large.

Wouldn't you know that five minutes after I said the articel on arrays in unavailable, I found it.
