I just finished up the final touches on my C Project (at least I hope that's the last of them). Anyway, it's due Friday (10% of my overall grade) and I'd like to have some quick feedback (constructive criticisms and complements) before I had it in. It was suppose to be a group project but my group members weren't on top of their game so I had to push and do all the work myself. A blessing in disguise I guess.

Enough of my chatter, evaluate my presumable complete hotel reservation and booking system.

If you want proper advice, you should post your code, not your executable.

One tip is: validate user input.

See attachment.

Ok, check out my source code file too.

It makes your code easier for us all to read if you wrap it in code tags and not on an attachment.

It's kind of long in my view. That's why I didn't post it up in the first place but here it is:

welp, i just tried to compile your C code, and got a flood of compiler errors.

god forbid anyone try and run your code on a non-Windows environment.

for this reason you should stay away from CONIO.H and DOS.H...

but i imagine your entire class uses nothing but windows, and your instructor doesn't care if he teaches you programming without regard to the ugly consequences of using Non-ANSI C

anyhow, im on my way upstairs now, so maybe I'll peek at it on my vista laptop.

okay, WTF is this? fseek( logger, ( NULL ) * sizeof( ADMISSION_DATA ), SEEK_SET ); NULL * sizeof(something) ?? zero times anything is still zero. if you just want the beginning of the file, why are you using fseek?

but a larger issue: NULL is a pointer. not an int. you cant multitply a pointer and an int. at least not on most compilers. Borland maybe you can get away with it, but not GCC. and probably not MSVC either.

Im still getting a bazillion compiler warnings and errors when i try and compile it on MSVC.

i changed the #include <dos.h> to <windows.h>, and changed your sleep() calls to Sleep(). that got rid of some of them, but brought in new ones to replace it.

did this compile for you even, on Borland?

and whether it did or didn't, you should really think about getting rid of Borland compiler, in favor of GCC or MSVC. borland was in the trash bin 10 years ago.
