Problem: Write a C program to read and print employee details using structure.
To store multiple employee details we will use an array of structures. Each element in the array will represent a single employee.
Each Structure i.e. Employee contains:
- Name
- Id
- Salary
In our program, we will read the inputs for each employee from the user, and then output all employee details by iterating through the array using the ‘for’ loop.
C Program to Read and Print Employee Details
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct{
char name[30];
int id;
double salary;
} Employee;
int main()
{
//number of employees
int n=2;
//array to store structure values of all employees
Employee employees[n];
//Taking each employee detail as input
printf("Enter %d Employee Details \n \n",n);
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
printf("Employee %d:- \n",i+1);
//Name
printf("Name: ");
scanf("%[^\n]s",employees[i].name);
//ID
printf("Id: ");
scanf("%d",&employees[i].id);
//Salary
printf("Salary: ");
scanf("%lf",&employees[i].salary);
//to consume extra '\n' input
char ch = getchar();
printf("\n");
}
//Displaying Employee details
printf("-------------- All Employees Details ---------------\n");
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
printf("Name \t: ");
printf("%s \n",employees[i].name);
printf("Id \t: ");
printf("%d \n",employees[i].id);
printf("Salary \t: ");
printf("%.2lf \n",employees[i].salary);
printf("\n");
}
return 0;
}The output of the Program:
Calculate Salary of the Employee from Basic
In the above program, we are directly asking the user to input the salary of every employee.
In case we need to calculate the salary from the basic, we will have to add an extra variable (i.e. basic_salary) to the structure and calculate the net_salary using the formula: net_salary = basic_salary + HRA + DA – PF
Where,
- HRA is 10% of basic salary i.e.,
HRA=basic_salary*0.1; - DA is 5% of basic salary i.e.,
DA=basic_salary*0.05; - PF is 12% of basic salary i.e.,
PF=basic_salary*0.12;
Putting them in the formula: net_salary = basic_salary * (1+ 0.1 + 0.05 – 0.12).
If we modify the above program then the code will be:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct{
char name[30];
int id;
double basic_salary;
double net_salary;
} Employee;
int main()
{
//number of employees
int n=2;
//array to store structure values of all employees
Employee employees[n];
//Taking each employee detail as input
printf("Enter %d Employee Details \n \n",n);
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
printf("Employee %d:- \n", (i+1));
//Name
printf("Name: ");
scanf("%[^\n]s",employees[i].name);
//ID
printf("Id: ");
scanf("%d",&employees[i].id);
//Salary
printf("Basic Salary: ");
scanf("%lf",&employees[i].basic_salary);
//to consume extra '\n' input
char ch = getchar();
employees[i].net_salary = employees[i].basic_salary*1.03;
}
//Displaying Employee details
printf("-------------- All Employees Details ---------------\n");
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
printf("Name \t: ");
printf("%s \n",employees[i].name);
printf("Id \t: ");
printf("%d \n",employees[i].id);
printf("Salary \t: ");
printf("%.2lf \n",employees[i].net_salary);
printf("\n");
}
return 0;

What is the difference between array and structure array
They both are similar. The difference is the type of data in the array. When we declare
int array[10], we mean to store integers into the array and in case ofEmployee array[10], we mean to store structure objects into the array.Why you have write the Employee; after defining structure
Any name you put at the end of the structure declaration along with
typedefat the beginning is used to rename the structure. In our case, we have renamed the structure asEmployee. so that we can address the structure in main funtion using justEmployeeinstead ofstruct Employee.Write a program to read the details of ‘N’ employees (ID, Name, Salary) and display the details of those employees whose salary is above Rs.10,000/-.
Can any one write this program.?
The logic of your problem can be easily solved using the above program. Just include
if(employees[i].salary> 10000)indide the loop which prints the employee details.1. Write a Menu Driven C program to create an employee database using structure and perform following operations: (I) Accept Employee Record (II) Display All Employees Records (III) Search Employee Record by name and Display (IV) Search Employee Record by Employee ID and Display (V) Update Employee Record (Note: Employee record will have following fields Employee ID, Employee Name, Employee Department, Employee Salary)
can i pls get a code for this
How to add date of joining of the employee in the program
Add another char array (string) to store the date of joining.
typedef struct{ char name[30]; int id; int salary; char dateOfJoining[20]; } Employee;In case of storing 20 employees,we need to change ?
change the value of n
if I want to print details of one employee by his id what should I do?
If you want to print an employee by his id use any of the search algorithms such as linear search or binary search to search an employee in the employee array. If found then output his details.
int id; scanf("%d", &id); for(int i=0; i<n; i++){ if(employees[i].id == id){ printf("Name \t: "); printf("%s \n",employees[i].name); printf("Id \t: "); printf("%d \n",employees[i].id); printf("Salary \t: "); printf("%d \n",employees[i].salary); } }Hi Adarsh, could you please tell me how can I compute total salary outgo for a month . For an employee using structures in C.
Thanks in advance .
Updated the post with the solution.
Thank you so much for the reply Adarsh . This has helped me .
Write a C program – using structures for reading the employee details like employee name, date of joining and salary and also to compute Total salary outgo for a month.
Could you please provide a solution for this pleasee?
The above program is giving error as ” array subscipt is not an integer” kindly suggest.
From my side, the code is working fine. Maybe you are trying to input the full name of the employee. Can you re-check, I have modified the code.

can you please share code for the same .
