Ok, today is the final and I'm still confused with the struct.
Last assignment was supposed to be transformaed from regular arrays to struct and even though I did it and it works, it's more like each member inside of a record is a array rather than array of records. Can someone please help me out to fix it (this is not for a grade anymore, I just want to understand it before the final). Thanks in advance. This is what I got

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
