A structure is a collection of pre-defined data types to create a user-defined data type. Let us say we need to create records of students.
Each student has three fields:
int roll_number;
char name[30];
int total_marks;
This concept would be particularly useful in grouping data types. You could declare a structure student as:
struct student {
int roll_number;
char name[30]; int total_marks;
}
student1, student2;
The above snippet of code would declare a structure by name student and it initializes two objects student1, student2. Now these objects and their fields could be accessed by saying student1.
style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New";color:#0000C0'>roll_number for accesing roll number field of student1 object, similarly student2.
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New";color:#0000C0'>name for accesing name field of student2 object. C
