Title: Student Code Critique Competition

Summary:
Body:
The problem is to read in a file (first item being a count of the number of remaining items. For example the file "land.dat" looks like this:
10 swe dan dan nor swe swe tur swe pol dan
Having read the file you must create a list of the unique elements (so the list form the above file would be: swe, dan, nor, tur, pol. The order of the elements is irrelevant.
Now the following code is the student's solution. Critique and refine it. Then write your own model answer. Just to exercise your brain cells a little more, answers must be in C (it is too easy in C++☺). I have left out the #includes
#define MAXLAND 10 typedef struct { char namn[4]; }test; int main(void){ FILE *fil; test Ttest[MAXLAND],Ttemp[MAXLAND]; int k=0,counter=0,ej_lika,m,stycken,a; fil=fopen("land.dat","r"); if(!fil){ printf("ERROR open file!"); exit(1); } fscanf(fil,"%d",&stycken); while(!feof(fil)){ fscanf(fil,"%s",&Ttest[k].namn); k++; } fclose(fil); for(k=0;k<=MAXLAND;k++) Ttemp[k].namn==NULL; /' Can i do this different??*/ for(k=0;k<=stycken-1;k++){ ej_lika=0; for(m=0;m<=stycken-1;m++){ if(strcmp(Ttest[k].namn, Ttemp[m].namn)!=0) ej_lika++; if(ej_lika==stycken){ strcpy(Ttemp[counter].namn, Ttest[k].namn); ej_lika=0; counter++; break; } } } /*check the result.*/ for(k=0; k<counter; k++) printf("%s\n",Ttemp[k].namn); getch(); return 0; }
Credit will begiven for clarity of the review as well as the quality of the final code. As long as the code format is consistent any format is acceptable and no credit will be given for any specific choice. Good use of identifiers and suitable comments are expected. The 'winner' (i.e. my sole choice) will be able to choose a title from my collection of prize books.
