Problem with printing values from a struct using a void function

I am trying to make a program that uses a struct to store the title the author and the pages of a book.Then I want it to find which one has the lowest amount of pages and then use a void function to print its details.Whenever I run the code it seems to work but it always prints the wrong values.I am not 100% familiar with structs yet and I was wondering if somebody had an answer to why this isnt working.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define N 3

struct book{
    char title[N];
    char author[N];
    int pages[N];
};

void printbook(struct book);

int main(){
    int i,thesh;
    int min;
    struct book vivlio[N];

    for(i=0;i<3;i++){
        printf("\n\ndwse titlo tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%s",vivlio[i].title);
        printf("\ndwse suggrafea tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%s",vivlio[i].author);
        printf("\ndwse selides tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%d",vivlio[i].pages);
    }
    min = vivlio[0].pages;
    thesh = 0;

    for(i=1;i<3;i++){
        if(vivlio[i].pages<min){
            min = vivlio[i].pages;
            thesh = i;
        }
    }
    printbook(vivlio[thesh]);
    return 0;
}

void printbook(struct book x){
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei ton titlo: %s",x.title);
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei ton suggrafea: %s",x.author);
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei arithmo selidwn: %d",x.pages);
}

>Solution :

title and author need to be longer than 3 character, which only allows room for 2 characters plus the null terminator. N is the number of books, it shouldn’t also be used as the number of characters.

pages should just be a single integer, not an array. Then when you’re reading it with scanf(), you need to pass the address of the integer with &.

You should use N as the limit in your for loops, rather than hard-coding 3.

You should end your last line of output with a newline, the the next shell prompt won’t be printed on the same line.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define N 3
#define MAXTITLE 20
#define MAXNAME 30

struct book{
    char title[MAXTITLE];
    char author[MAXNAME];
    int pages;
};

void printbook(struct book);

int main(){
    int i,thesh;
    int min;
    struct book vivlio[N];

    for(i=0;i<N;i++){
        printf("\n\ndwse titlo tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%s",vivlio[i].title);
        printf("\ndwse suggrafea tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%s",vivlio[i].author);
        printf("\ndwse selides tou vivliou: ");
        scanf("%d",&vivlio[i].pages);
    }
    min = vivlio[0].pages;
    thesh = 0;

    for(i=1;i<N;i++){
        if(vivlio[i].pages<min){
            min = vivlio[i].pages;
            thesh = i;
        }
    }
    printbook(vivlio[thesh]);
    return 0;
}

void printbook(struct book x){
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei ton titlo: %s",x.title);
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei ton suggrafea: %s",x.author);
    printf("\n\nTo vivlio me tis ligoteres selides exei arithmo selidwn: %d\n",x.pages);
}

You probably also shouldn’t be using %s to read the name and title. This only extracts a single word from the input, so you won’t be able to enter names and titles with spaces.
