CSE 102: Computer Programming: Structures

This document provides information about structures in C programming. It defines a structure as a collection of related data items of different types. Structures allow grouping of data like employee name, age, salary. Members of a structure are accessed using the dot operator. Structures can be defined, declared, initialized, and members accessed. Arrays of structures and nested structures are also discussed.

Structures

By;
Dr. Muhammad Athar Javed Sethi
Need for Structure

 Basic data type: single element


 Array: multiple elements of same type
 Task: store name, age, salary of
employees
 Different Data Types
 Structure is a collection of related
elements or data items.
 Elements of the structure are called
members of the structure.
Struct Data Type

 Treat different data types as one group


 Create new data type as a composition of
existing data types
 Field
 each element is called a “field”
 can be a basic data type or an array or another
struct
 accessed using dot (.) operator
Defining Structures

struct st_name
{
type 1; //data types
type 2;
type 3;
};
Declaring Structures
 Once the structure is defined, you can declare a
structure variable by preceding the variable name
by the structure type name
struct address
{
char city[15];
int postalcode;
};
address first_var, second_var;
Accessing Members of a Structure

 Dot operator (.) is used to access the members of


a structure.
 To access a member of a specific structure, the
structure variable name, the dot operator and then
the member of the structure is written.
 Syntax;
struct_variable.struct_element
Initializing of Structure Variables
Struct address
{
char city[15];
int pcode;
};
address taq = { “Peshawar” , 25000};
Array Type Members of Structure

struct result
{
char name[15];
int sub[4];
int total;
};
result student= { “Kaleem” , {62,69,70,40}, 0};
Structure Variable as Arrays

struct result
{
char s_name[15];
int sub[4];
int total;
};
result arts[10];
Initialization of Arrays of Structure

struct marks
{
char code[10];
char name[15];
float marks;
};
marks rec[3]={{“man-1”, “Kashif”, 85.9},
{“acc-1”, “Waqas”, 89.6},
{“fac-1”, “Javed”, 55.9}};
Nested Structure
 When members of a structure are defined as structure type,
these are called nested structure.
Struct info
{
char s_name[15];
char f_name[15];
char city[15];
int age;
};
Struct p_data
{
info s1;
info s2;
float x;
};
p_data rec;
Initialization of Nested Structure

p_data rec={{“M. Waqas”, “Haq Nawaz”, “Peshawar”,20},


{“M. Zeeshan”, “Fida Khan”,
“Islamabad”,30},6.9};

Accessing Members of Nested Structure

Rec.s1.age=20;
