c - Printf、scanf 和 For 循环问题

Question

我的目标是能够将成员输入到学生数据库数组的每个结构中。我知道我的 for 循环不知何故是错误的，但我不知道如何修复它...输出采用名字，然后在不接受输入的情况下打印循环的其余部分。

很明显问题出在我对printf和scanf的能力理解不够。但是从我无知的角度来看，我不明白为什么它行不通。

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct {
    char *name;
    char *surname;
    char *UUN;
    char *department;
    char gender;
    int age;
} student_t;

student_t findOldest(student_t *studentarr, int len) {
    int i;
    student_t max=*(studentarr+0);

    for (i=1; i < len; i++) {
        if((*(studentarr+i)).age > max.age)
            max = *(studentarr+i);
    }

    return max;
}

int main() {
    int i;
    student_t result;
    student_t stdt[6]={{"John","Bishop","s1234","Inf",'m',18},{"Lady","Cook","s2345","Eng",'f',21},{"James","Jackson","s33456","Eng",'m',17}};
    student_t *p=&stdt[0];

    for(i=3;i<6;i++){ /* This is where I'm stuck */
        printf("\nFirst Name: ");
        scanf("%s",stdt[i].name);
        printf("\nSurname: ");
        scanf("%s",stdt[i].surname);
        printf("\nUUN: ");
        scanf("%s",stdt[i].UUN);
        printf("\nDepartment: ");
        scanf("%s",stdt[i].department);
        printf("\nGender (m/f): ");
        scanf(" %c",&stdt[i].gender);
        printf("\nAge: ");
        scanf("%d",&stdt[i].age);
    }

    findOldest(p,6);
    result = findOldest(p,6);
    printf("\nThe student of oldest age:%s, %s, %s, %s, %c, %d\n",result.name,result.surname,result.UUN,result.department,result.gender,result.age);

    return 0;
}

Answer 1

this compiles with no errors/warnings
it implements the desired algorithm
it greatly reduces the complexity of certain parts of the code
it give names to the magic numbers in the code
it eliminates the probability of seg fault events 
   from trying to write to pointers that points nowhere
