POProgram gets hung up when I use "delete" function
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm trying to write a program where it'll take in info from a user, and the user will have options on what to do. The options are to add, modify, delete, display certain info, find the average, and exit. I have written code for all of them but I can't get my delete function to work. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>void delete_student(struct students *list, int *count) //Delete's Selected student { int id4; int k; if (*count != 0) { printf("\nEnter the ID of the student you wish to delete: "); scanf("%d\n", &id4); for (int i = 0; i < *count; i++) //Searches for the selected student { k = i; if (list[i].id == id4) { printf("\nStudent found.\nDeleting...\n"); for (int c = k; c < *count; c++) //Deletes the student if found { list[c].id = list[c + 1].id; strcpy(list[c].name, list[c + 1].name); list[c].age = list[c + 1].age; strcpy(list[c].dept, list[c + 1].dept); list[c].grade = list[c + 1].grade; } *count = *count - 1; printf("\nDeletion Complete.\n"); break; } else printf("\nStudent not found. Please try again.\n"); break; } } else printf("\nNo student's to delete.\n"); } </code></pre> <p>Edit: When I go through the program, and I select to use this function, it'll ask me for the "ID" and then it does nothing and has a blinking cursor.</p> <p>Could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? There's more code if you need it.</p> <p>Is this how the last element would be deleted:</p> <pre><code>list[*count].id = 0; strcpy(list[*count].name, NULL); list[*count].age = 0; strcpy(list[*count].dept, NULL); list[*count].grade = 0; </code></pre>
