How do you write a c program to perform students details and information of highest scorer using structure and pointers?

Answer 1

To write a C program that handles student details and identifies the highest scorer using structures and pointers, first, define a structure to hold student information, such as name and score. You can then create an array of these structures and use a pointer to traverse the array to find the student with the highest score. Use a loop to compare scores and keep track of the pointer to the highest scorer. Finally, display the details of that student. Here's a simplified example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

struct Student {
    char name[50];
    int score;
};

int main() {
    struct Student students[5], *highest = NULL;
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        printf("Enter name and score for student %d: ", i+1);
        scanf("%s %d", students[i].name, &students[i].score);
    }
    highest = &students[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < 5; i++) {
        if (students[i].score > highest->score) {
            highest = &students[i];
        }
    }
    printf("Highest Scorer: %s with score %d\n", highest->name, highest->score);
    return 0;
}
