I've been working on this school assignment which creates a restaurant menu, and I have an array to store everything that a person orders. The array that stores the orders ordered is array OrderedItems [30]. This array is basically a counter. When a person orders order number 1 as an example OrderItems[1] increases by 1.
I've tried to initialize by using OrderedItems [30] = {0}, and using a for loop to initialize every spot individually, However, that didn't work. Please help me initialize this array. I've also tried memset(OrderedItems, 0, 30); and this didn't work too so I really have no clue what to do.
I also want to add that I've tried to globally declare the OrderedItems array since I've heard that all global declarations are automatically initialized to 0, but that also didn't work.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <windows.h>
FILE *fPointer1; //for food//
FILE *fPointer2; //for invoice//
int count;
char name[50];
float price;
void FunctionToPrintFoodItems (void)
{
fPointer1 = fopen ("Food.txt", "a+");
float price;
printf("ITEMCODE\tDESCIPTION\tPRICE (RM)\n");
while (!feof (fPointer1))
{
fscanf(fPointer1, "%d %s %f", &count, name, &price);
printf("%d\t\t%s\t\t%.2f\n", count, name, price);
}
fclose (fPointer1);
}
void clrscr()
{
system("@cls||clear"); //might not need. Will delete it not needed//
}
void debug (void)
{
printf("THIS IS PRINTED");
}
#define clear clrscr ();
#define printfood FunctionToPrintFoodItems();
#define de debug();
int main ()
{
fPointer1 = fopen("Food.txt", "w");

- printf("%d: %d\n", i, OrderedItems);
+ printf("%d: %d\n", i, OrderedItems[i]);
OrderedItems
is an address of the array's first element.
OrderedItems[0]
is a value of the array's first element.
OrderedItems[i]
is a value of the array's i-th element.

The call to memset
should specify how many bytes to set. You need to tell it the size of the type to initialise.
memset(OrderedItems, 0, 30 * sizeof(int))
