Here is the sample text file I need for input:
12 JackSprat 2 1 65000
13 HumptyDumpty 5 3 30000
17 BoPeep 2 3 30000
20 BoyBlue 3 2 58000
0
The error Im getting is a declaration error but I do declare my pointer:
C:employeeDatabase.c||In function 'printlist':| |82|error: expected declaration specifiers before 'current'|
This is the code I have so far:
