Data does not persist on switch case

Question

Write a program that registers the name, height, weight, Cpf and sex of some people. With the data registered, then locate a person through your CPF and print your IMC.

When I choose the Query option the data that was entered before does not remain. Why?

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

typedef struct Cadastro{
    char nome[30];
    char condicao[30];
    char sexo;
    int CPF;
    float altura;
    float peso;
    float imc;
};
void Menu(){
    printf(" ====== Menu ====== \n");
    printf("1 - Cadastrar\n");
    printf("2 - Consultar \n");
    printf("3 - Sair\n");
    printf(" ================== \n");
}

main(){
    int opcao, contUser = 0;
    do{
        Menu();
        scanf("%i", &opcao);
        system("cls");
        if(opcao == 1){
        printf("Quantos cadastros deseja realizar? ");
        scanf("%i", &contUser);
        system("cls");
        fflush(stdin);
        }
        Cadastro user[contUser];

        system("cls");
        switch(opcao){
            case 1 :
                printf(" ==== Cadastro ==== \n");
                for(int i = 0; i<contUser; i++){

                    printf(" ====== %i/%i ======\n", i+1, contUser);
                    printf("Digite o nome: ");
                    scanf("%[^\n]", user[i].nome);
                    fflush(stdin);
                    printf("Digite sexo. \nf - feminino\nm - masculino: ");
                    scanf("%c", &user[i].sexo);
                    printf("Digite o CPF: ");
                    scanf("%i", &user[i].CPF);
                    printf("Digite a altura em metros(m): ");
                    scanf("%f", &user[i].altura);
                    printf("Digite o peso em quilos(kg): ");
                    scanf("%f", &user[i].peso);
                    user[i].imc = user[i].peso/(user[i].altura*user[i].altura);

                    /*if(user[i].sexo == 'f'){
                        if(user[i].imc < 19.1){
                            user[i].condicao = {"Peso Baixo"};

                        }
                    }*/
                    fflush(stdin);
                    system("cls");
                }
                system("cls");
                break;

            case 2 :
                char qualquer;
                if(contUser == 0){
                    printf("Nenhum usuario cadastrado. Pressione qualquer tecla para voltar para o menu.");
                    fflush(stdin);
                    scanf("%c", &qualquer);
                    system("cls");
                }else{
                int consulta;
                    printf(" ==== Consulta ==== \n");
                    printf("Digite o CPF do cadastro: ");
                    scanf("%i", &consulta);

                    for(int i = 0; i<contUser; i++){
                        if(user[i].CPF == consulta){
                        printf("%f", user[i].imc);
                        }
                    }
                }
                break;

            case 3 :
                printf("Obrigado!");
                break;
        }
    }while(opcao != 3);
}

I’m using the following entry to test:

1
1
1
Nome
m
1234
1.5
22.5
2
1234
3

Split:

1
1

I’m opening up a single record.

1
Nome
m
1234
1.5
22.5

I am selecting the registration option by entering name Nome, sex m, CPF 1234, height 1.5 and weight 22.5.

2
1234

I’m checking the recorded BMI for the person with social security number 1234.

3

I’m shutting down the program.

The expected result is 10.0, but I’m not getting that value.

I also made a test leaving case 2 only to display the first registered CPF.

case 2:
   printf("%i", user[0].CPF);
   break;

Exit a random value different from the CPF that was registered.

Answer 1

The main problem is the definition of the vector within do-while. This causes the vector to be initialized every time the repetition occurs.

Option 1:

main(){
    int opcao, contUser = 0;
    do{
        Menu();
        scanf("%i", &opcao);
        system("cls");
        if(opcao == 1){
        printf("Quantos cadastros deseja realizar? ");
        scanf("%i", &contUser);
        Cadastro user[contUser];
        system("cls");
        fflush(stdin);
        }

Option 2:

main(){
    int opcao, contUser = 0;
    printf("Quantos cadastros deseja realizar? ");
    scanf("%i", &contUser);
    Cadastro user[contUser];
    do{
        Menu();
        scanf("%i", &opcao);
        system("cls");
        fflush(stdin);
        }
