C, structs, files, and pain

alo,

Title: “Who wants to be a millionaire”

Create a socket based Client Server system that simulates the popular TV show.

Server:

Maintains 5 different files with each file containing similarly weighted questions

The server must load the files into an Array of structs.
The server selects the question to send to the client randomly.

blah blah blah


now my question is, are there any good resources on STRUCTS, FILES and passing FILE CONTENTS to a STRUCT etc ?

I think this is one of those questions where you're req'd to demo use of x y & z, ie files & structs.

There's loads of info in every C book under the sun on those, also try putting the terms into google & see what it turns up.

And one again, you need to be more specific

No Trojan is right (not the pffftt part though, Muppet ), the kind of info you are looking for is plastered all over C programming books. I'm guessing you don't own any, coz if you did I would call you a Muppet also, coz it's right in front of you.

Here's a good one: http://www.rubiks.net/K_R/kandr.html
