pset4 resize vertical sizing problems. Need help

Question

I am attempting pset4 resize right now and I am running into a bit of problems on the part where you have to vertically size the image by a factor of n. So, my logic is to declear a dynamically allocated array by using malloc and then copy the RGBTRIPLE values into the array continuously. After, I put the array into a loop and make it repeat it self over again n times to represent the vertical sizing.

Below is my code and I need your guys help to correct me on where I went wrong. Thanks!

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

#include "bmp.h"

//declear functions
void horizontalFactorAndStoring(RGBTRIPLE triple, int factor, FILE *outptr, int *temp);

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    // ensure proper usage
    if (argc != 4)
    {
        printf("Usage: ./resize n infile outfile\n");
        return 1;
    }

    //declear factor variable
    int factor = atoi(argv[1]);

    // remember filenames
    char* infile = argv[2];
    char* outfile = argv[3];

    // open input file 
    FILE* inptr = fopen(infile, "r");
    if (inptr == NULL)
    {
        printf("Could not open %s.\n", infile);
        return 2;
    }

    // open output file
    FILE* outptr = fopen(outfile, "w");
    if (outptr == NULL)
    {
        fclose(inptr);
        fprintf(stderr, "Could not create %s.\n", outfile);
        return 3;
    }

    // read infile's BITMAPFILEHEADER
    BITMAPFILEHEADER bf;
    fread(&bf, sizeof(BITMAPFILEHEADER), 1, inptr);

    // read infile's BITMAPINFOHEADER
    BITMAPINFOHEADER bi;
    fread(&bi, sizeof(BITMAPINFOHEADER), 1, inptr);

    // ensure infile is (likely) a 24-bit uncompressed BMP 4.0
    if (bf.bfType != 0x4d42 || bf.bfOffBits != 54 || bi.biSize != 40 ||

    {

Answer 1

To be frank with you I don't understand why you are using the temp array to store the RGBTRIPLE by it's 3 values separately. Moreover you have a function to write the pixels horizontally but you write the vertically inside main. Here's what I would suggest:

1. Read each line pixel by pixel
2. Write each pixel n times
3. Do the above for each line n times
4. Move to next line
