Need help programming c
May 8 2012 12:41 AM
I got an assigment that I need help with and I'm hoping that someone could give me some help with it. Here is what it's asking:
The data file contains lines of text, some of which are tab-delimited price entries, while others are text.
Each price line is easily distinguished by the fact that it begins with a digit. Each price line has an Intel CPU's
current price, followed by a tab character, followed by the CPU's name.
Begin by defining a struct type that can store a CPU name and its price. Write a C program that includes
three separate functions:
1. read_price_list() reads the price list from the data file and stores it in an array of your structs,
2. sort_price_list() sorts the price list by decreasing price,
3. write_price_list() writes the sorted price list into a new data file Sorted_Price_List.txt.
The sorted price list file must contain only sorted price data: a CPU price, followed by a tab, followed by the
CPU's name; one CPU per line.
Here is what we have to sort:

There's more to sort but it takes up alot of space.
And he gave us a skeleton source file:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
typedef struct {
/* fill in */
} price_entry;
/* Reads a price list from a file and stores it in an array of structs.
Returns the number of price entries read from the file. */
int read_price_list(const char* input_name, price_entry* list, int list_size) {
/* only lines beginning with a digit contain price entries, ignore all other lines */
/* fill in */
}
int compare_price_entries(const price_entry* entry1, const price_entry* entry2) {
/* fill in */
}
/* Sorts a price list by decreasing price. */
void sort_price_list(price_entry* list, int list_size) {
/* use qsort() in conjunction with the compare_price_entries above, or write your own sort algorithm */
/* fill in */
}
/* Writes a price list into a new file. */
void write_price_list(const price_entry* list, int list_size, const char* output_name) {
/* fill in */
}
int main() {
int entry_count;
entry_count = read_price_list("Apr_29_12_Recommended_C… /* fill in */);
sort_price_list(/* fill in */);
write_price_list(/* fill in */, "Sorted_Price_List.txt");
return 0;
}
I've been working on in since Wed and I am completely stuck and any kind of help would be appreciated.
