Question
Please use C
Your job will be to create a program that uses structures. You will create a structure that holds info about a computer file. It must have a character array (up to 100 characters) to hold the name of the file. An integer to hold the size of the file. It must also hold a character to hold the type of file (D for directory and F for file). Finally it must use a long to hold the timestamp of the last time the file was accessed.
Part 1
In your main you should create a pointer to the structure, malloc memory for the structure, and prompt/read in data about your structure. Do NOT print out the file info in the main.
Part 2
Write 1 function that prints out the contents of the file structure. Your function should have 1 parameter which is a pointer to the file structure.
Explanation / Answer
Below is the complete C program for the mentioned problem:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct file{
char fileName[100];
int fileSize;
char fileType;
long accessTime;
};
void print(struct file *f){
// printf("hello world");
printf("Filename %s Size %d Type [%c] Accessed @ %ld ",f -> fileName,f -> fileSize,f -> fileType, f -> accessTime);
}
int main()
{
struct file * f = malloc(sizeof *f);
printf("Enter the type: ");
scanf("%c", &(f -> fileType));
printf("Enter the filename: ");
scanf("%s", &(f -> fileName));
printf("Enter the accesstime: ");
scanf("%ld", &(f -> accessTime));
printf("Enter the size: ");
scanf("%d", &(f -> fileSize));
print(f);
return 0;
}
