C Structure example

This section illustrates you the concept of structure in C. Structures in C defines the group of contiguous (adjacent) fields, such as recor ds or control blocks. A structure is a collection of variables grouped together under a single name. It provides an elegant and powerful way for keeping related data together. Structure Declaration: struct struct-name{ type field-name; type field-name; ... }; Once the structure is defined, you can declare a structure variable by preceding the variable name by the structure type name. In the given example, a small str ucture i.e struct is created student and declared three instances of it as shown below. struct student{ int id; char *name; float percentage; } In structures, we have assigned the values to the instances i.e, id, name, perce ntage in the following way: student1.id=1; student2.name = "Angelina"; student3.percentage = 90.5;

Smaple Code #include <stdio.h> #include <conio.h> struct student { int id; char *name; float percentage; } student1, student2, student3; int main() { struct student st; student1.id=1; student2.name = "Angelina"; student3.percentage = 90.5; printf(" Id is: %d \n", student1.id); printf(" Name is: %s \n", student2.name); printf(" Percentage is: %f \n", student3.percentage); getch(); return 0; }
