structure- we can say that it is user defined array but it contains diff data types in a continuous memory location.
syntax-
struct name — user defined data type
{
type1 element1;
type2 element2;
};
struct name variable; –to allocate space
To access elements
there are two methods to access elements
a.) when structure variable is used.
an operator scope resolution operator( . ) is used.
variable.element;
b.) when structure pointer is used.
first of all we must allocate memory to the pointer which can be done by using malloc.
But typecasting is reqired.
pointer name = (struct name *)malloc(sizeof(struct name));
( struct name *) is used for type casting.
operator (->) is used to access elements.
pointer->element;
