Re: C help calculate grand total

How does that function not work? There are a few iffy parts, like not checking fopen for success and not considering that fread can return a non-zero failure code, but there are no obvious errors that I can see this early in the morning.

Re: C help calculate grand total

I'd imagine something like...

(Toggle Plain Text)

double prof = 0;
// ...
while(/*...*/)
{
   double p = profits(ssg.prodprice, ssg.prodcost, ssg.prodquan);
   // ...
   prof += p;
}
