Hi guys!, I have a code here having a problem about double and I'm kinda lost so I don't know what to do. btw thanks for reading my thread, I would greatly appreciate if you can help me fix this thing.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#define FLUSH while (getchar() != '\n')

typedef struct {
        char id[6];
        char lname[15];
        char fname[20];
        char address[50];
        double balance;
}INFO;

typedef struct {
        char id[6];
        char doP[12];
        double amountpd;
}fPay;

Would you be kind enough to explain what exactly the problem is? It's too early for guessing games here. ;)

Sorry, I forgot to mention, well the problem is that when I output the double I won't get the right amount or value and I'm also having a problem dealing with decimal value like "0.00". I know its %.2f but it won't work.Thanks in advance

What input do you give it, what output does it give back, what is it about the output that do you not like?

If you're going to use floating point values, you need to read this:

If you're going to use floating point values for financial information, you need to stop, once you've experimented with it to learn :)
