C program to store inventory system using structures

Structure is a collection of different datatype variables, grouped together under a single name.

Features of structure

The features of structure in the C programming language are as follows −

It is possible to copy the contents of all the structure elements of different datatypes to another structure variable of its type by using an assignment operator.
For handling the complex datatypes, it is better to create structure within another structure, which is called nested structures.
It is possible to pass an entire structure, individual elements of structure and an address of structure to a function.
It is possible to create structure pointers.

Program

Following is the C program to store an inventory system by using the structures −

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main(){
   struct date{
      int day;
      int month;
      int year;
   };
   struct details{
      char name[20];
      int price;
      int code;
      int qty;
      struct date mfg;
   };
   struct details item[50];
   int n,i;
   printf("Enter number of items:");
   scanf("%d",&n);
   fflush(stdin);
   for(i=0;i<n;i++){
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("Item name:");
      scanf("%s",item[i].name);
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("Item code:");
      scanf("%d",&item[i].code);
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("Quantity:");
      scanf("%d",&item[i].qty);
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("price:");
      scanf("%d",&item[i].price);
      fflush(stdin);
      printf("Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):");
      scanf("%d-%d-%d",&item[i].mfg.day,&item[i].mfg.month,&item[i].mfg.year);
   }
   printf(" ***** INVENTORY *****\n");
   printf("------------------------------------------------------------------\n");
   printf("S.N.| NAME | CODE | QUANTITY | PRICE |MFG.DATE\n");
   printf("------------------------------------------------------------------\n");
   for(i=0;i<n;i++)
      printf("%d %-15s %-d %-5d %-5d%d/%d/%d\n",i+1,item[i].name,item[i].code,item[i].qty,item[i].price,item[i].mfg.day,item[i].mfg.month,item[i].mfg.year);
   printf("------------------------------------------------------------------\n");
   getch();
}

Output

When the above program is executed, it produces the following result −

Enter number of items:5
Item name:pen
Item code:12
Quantity:50
price:25
Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):12-02-2020
Item name:pencil
Item code:15
Quantity:100
price:30
Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):11-03-2020
Item name:book
Item code:34
Quantity:30
price:60
Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):15-04-2020
Item name:bag
Item code:39
Quantity:20
price:70
Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):12-03-2021
Item name:sharpner
Item code:33
Quantity:20
price:40
Manufacturing date(dd-mm-yyyy):12-04-2021
***** INVENTORY *****
------------------------------------------------------------------
S.N.| NAME | CODE | QUANTITY | PRICE |MFG.DATE
------------------------------------------------------------------
1    pen    12       50          25    12/2/2020
