STRUCTURE AND UNION

Introduction to Structure:

- The structure in C is a user-defined data type that can be used to group items of possibly
different types into a single type.
- The struct keyword is used to define the structure in the C programming language.
- The items in the structure are called its member and they can be of any valid data type.

-
Syntax of Structure Declaration:

A.
struct tag_name
{
datatype member1;
datatype member2;
…
};

a
struct tag_name variable_name1, variable_name2… -> to access the
members of the structure
sh
OR

struct tag_name variable_name1, variable_name2;


ik
Accessing member variables:

variablename.member_name;
at

Example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
Pr

// Define the structure


struct Person {
char name[50];
int age;
float height;
};

int main() {
// Declare a variable of type struct Person
struct Person person1;

// Assign values to the members of the structure


strcpy(person1.name, "John Doe");

1
Computer Programming in C - Pratiksha A.

person1.age = 30;
person1.height = 6.1;

// Access and print the values


printf("Name: %s\n", person1.name);
printf("Age: %d\n", person1.age);
printf("Height: %.1f feet\n", person1.height);

return 0;
}

A.
Introduction to Union:
- The Union is a user-defined data type in C language that can contain elements of the
different data types just like structure.
- But unlike structures, all the members in the C union are stored in the same memory
location.
- Due to this, only one member can store data at the given instance.

-
Syntax of Union:
sh
union union_name
{
datatype member1;
datatype member2;
…
ik
};

OR
union union_name variable1, variable2…
at

Accessing member variables:

variablename.member_name;
Pr

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

// union template or declaration


union un {
int member1;
char member2;
float member3;
};

int main()

Computer Programming in C - Pratiksha A.

// defining a union variable


union un var1,var2;

// initializing the union member


var1.member1 = 15;
var2.member2 = 'a';

printf("The value stored in member1 = %d",


var1.member1);
printf("\nThe value stored in member2 = %c",var2.member2);
