Structure

Structures in C programming allow for grouping different data types under a single name. Structures are defined using the struct keyword and members are accessed using dot notation. The document provides examples of declaring and defining structure variables, assigning values to members, copying structures, and printing structure member values.

Structure

C Prog
C programming, a struct (or structure) is a collection of variables (can be of different types) under a
single name.

Define Structures

struct structureName
{
dataType member1; dataType
member2; ...
};
struct MyStructure // Structure declaration
{
int myNum; // Member (int variable)
char myLetter; // Member (char variable)
}; // End the structure with a semicolon
To access the structure, you must create a variable of it.
Use the struct keyword inside the main() method,
followed by the name of the structure and then the name of the structure variable :

Create a struct variable with the name "s1"

struct myStructure {
int myNum;
char myLetter;
};

int main() {
struct myStructure s1;
return 0;
}
Access Structure Members To access members of a structure, use the dot syntax (.):

// Create a structure called myStructure


struct myStructure
{
int myNum;
char myLetter;
};

int main() {
// Create a structure variable of myStructure called s1
struct myStructure s1;

// Assign values to members of s1


s1.myNum = 13;
s1.myLetter = 'B';

// Print values
printf("My number: %d\n", s1.myNum);
printf("My letter: %c\n", s1.myLetter);

return 0;
}
Now you can easily create multiple structure variables with different values

// Create different struct variables


struct myStructure s1;
struct myStructure s2;

// Assign values to different struct variables


s1.myNum = 13;
s1.myLetter = 'B';

s2.myNum = 20;
s2.myLetter = 'C';
#include <stdio.h>
// Assign values to different struct variables
s1.myNum = 13;
struct myStructure s1.myLetter = 'B';
{
int myNum; s2.myNum = 20;
char myLetter; s2.myLetter = 'C';
}; // Print values
printf("s1 number: %d\n", s1.myNum);
int main() printf("s1 letter: %c\n", s1.myLetter);
{
// Create different struct variables printf("s2 number: %d\n", s2.myNum);
printf("s2 letter: %c\n", s2.myLetter);
struct myStructure s1;
struct myStructure s2; return 0;
}
You can also assign one structure to another.
Copy Structures In the following example,

the values of s1 are copied to s2:

struct myStructure s1 = {13, 'B', "Some text"};

struct myStructure s2;

s2 = s1;
Another way
of creating
a struct variable is:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
// create struct with person1 variable
struct Person {
char name[50];
int citNo; // print struct variables
float salary; printf("Name: %s\n", person1.name);
} person1;
printf("Citizenship No.: %d\n", person1.citNo);
int main()
{ printf("Salary: %.2f", person1.salary);
// assign value to name of person1
strcpy(person1.name, "George Orwell"); return 0;
}
// assign values to other person1 variables
person1.citNo = 1984;
person1. salary = 2500;
