This code represents a structure-based system to manage and update records for either customers (Cliente
) or orders (Ordine
). Here's a breakdown of what it does:
1. Struct Definitions
- Defined two structures,
Cliente
andOrdine
, to store customer data and order details respectively. - Defined an
enum
(TipoStruct
) to differentiate between these two structures. - Used a
union
(DatiRegistro
) to hold either aCliente
or anOrdine
. - Finally, defined a
Registro
structure that combinesTipoStruct
(type) andDatiRegistro
(data) for flexible record handling.
2. Functionality
The main functionalities are encapsulated in the functions below:
A. gestisciRegistro
- Prints the details of a
Registro
object. - Depending on whether the type is a
Cliente
or anOrdine
, it formats and prints respective fields.
B. aggiornaRegistro
This function manages updating either a Cliente
or Ordine
record:
- Reads from a file (
filename
) that stores predefinedCliente
orOrdine
data. - Updates a specific record based on a key (
chiave
), which is either:- The
email
for aCliente
or - The
cid
(order ID) for anOrdine
.
- The
- For
Cliente
, modifies the loyalty points (puntiFedelta
), and forOrdine
, updates the price. - Writes the updated data back to the file.
- The file is handled safely with reopening for reading and writing.
3. main
Function
The program's entry point handles interaction with the user:
- Prompts the user to choose between updating a
Cliente
or anOrdine
. - Depending on the choice, it asks for:
- For
Cliente
:- The customer's email as the key.
- The amount of loyalty points to add.
- For
Ordine
:- The order's
cid
as the key. - The new price to assign.
- The order's
- For
- It calls
aggiornaRegistro
with the appropriate parameters (filename
, keys, and update values).
4. File Operations
- File Input: Reads records of
Cliente
orOrdine
from a file (clienti.txt
orordini.txt
) based on the operation type. - File Update: Writes the entire updated record set back to the same file after making necessary changes.
- Uses
fscanf
for reading andfprintf
for writing.
5. Key Features
- Polymorphic Behavior: Registers (
Registro
) can store different types of data (Cliente
orOrdine
) using a combination ofenum
andunion
. - Dynamic Updating: The program allows selective updating of fields in data files (
clienti.txt
for customer data,ordini.txt
for order data). - Safe Input Handling: Uses formatted reading (
fscanf
) and writing (fprintf
) to handle data safely.
6. Limitations
- Assumes a maximum of 100 records (
regs[100]
array). - File format is assumed to match the expected structure for
Cliente
orOrdine
without validation. - No proper error checking is implemented beyond basic file handling.
Summary
The code is a basic database management program using file I/O, structures, and unions. It updates Cliente
or Ordine
records stored in text files and outputs updated information in a user-friendly format.
