Step 3

Now let's take a look at contents in the datafile data.txt. Its data maps (almost) directly to the fields defined in the STUDENT struct:

In data.txt:

In linkedlist.h:

1. Note that this step, 3a., is located at the bottom of the file, in the ReadFile() function. Construct the linked list iteratively by reading in the data for one student, creating a new node, initializing the new node to be the data of the student just read in, and then add the new node to the linked list identified by the TA's name that you #defined. Remember that the return type of the function fscanf is the number of items successfully read, returning EOF when it reaches the end of the file. Follow this pseudo code to write the actual code in lab12.c:

   while (fscanf ( from the file into taName ) != EOF )
   {
      fscanf (from the file into tempStudent the data for all of its members) 
      Set the tempNode equal to the node created by a call to CreateNode()
      Call SetData() to copy the tempStudent into the newly created tempNode
      Examine the TA's name to Insert() the initialized tempNode into the 
      correct list.
   }

2. Back, higher up in the code, uncomment the call to ReadFile()
3. Uncomment the three calls to PrintList() to see what's in your linked lists.
