ok so i am trying to put a menu function on the server side of a server client talk program. i would like to know if i am doing this correctly. i am also receiving a error that displays this...

So, what is airline at line 48?

well from what i am trying to do is take a program from c++ and convert it to c, so should airline be a struct? this is what it looks like in c++

class airline
{       private:

        struct passenger
        {       int id;
                int res_num;
                string phone;
                int seat;
                char menu;
                string lname;
                string fname;
                passenger* next;
        };
        passenger *head, *cur, *pre, *nptr;

        public:
                airline();
                char menu();
                void make_reservation(int seat_counter);
                void print();
                bool search_pass(int key);
                void change_reservation();
                void reports();
                bool cancel_reservation(int key);

Yes.

this is what it looks like in c++

class airline
{       private:

        struct passenger
        {       int id;
                int res_num;
                string phone;
                int seat;
                char menu;
                string lname;
                string fname;
                passenger* next;
        };
        passenger *head, *cur, *pre, *nptr;

        public:
                airline();
                char menu();
                void make_reservation(int seat_counter);
                void print();
                bool search_pass(int key);
                void change_reservation();
                void reports();
                bool cancel_reservation(int key);

and that's approximately how it would look in C (don't forget to alter strings into char * and treat them appropriately):

typedef struct passenger
        {       int id;
                int res_num;
                string phone;
                int seat;
                char menu;
                string lname;
                string fname;
                struct passenger* next;
        } passenger;

typedef struct airline
{
        passenger *head, *cur, *pre, *nptr;
} airline;
 
airline *     airline_init();
char           menu(airline *);
void           make_reservation(airline * int seat_counter);
//etc

i would put this on the server side of the program correct?

ok so i put the struct in the server side, but now i am getting this error. can u explain it to me.

serve.c:36: error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before âsearch_passâ
serve.c:39: error: expected â=â, â,â, â;â, âasmâ or â__attribute__â before âcancel_reservationâ
serve.c: In function âstr_echoâ:
serve.c:97: error: âairlineâ has no member named âmenuâ
serve.c:100: error: âairlineâ has no member named âmake_reservationâ
serve.c:105: error: âairlineâ has no member named âcancel_reservationâ
serve.c:109: error: âairlineâ has no member named âsearch_passâ
serve.c:111: error: âairlineâ has no member named âchange_reservationâ
serve.c:113: error: âairlineâ has no member named âprintâ
serve.c:114: error: âairlineâ has no member named âreportsâ

i just decided not to do the program. but thank u for the help
