Answer 3

Yes, we can use structures with functions in C. Structures can be passed to


functions **by value** or **by reference (using pointers)**. Here's a concise
explanation and example:

### Passing Structure to Function

#### 1. **By Value**


A copy of the structure is passed to the function. Changes inside the function
don't affect the original structure.

#include <stdio.h>

struct Student {
int rollNumber;
float marks;
};

// Function to display structure details


void display(struct Student s) {
printf("Roll Number: %d\n", s.rollNumber);
printf("Marks: %.2f\n", s.marks);
}

int main() {
struct Student s1 = {101, 95.5};
display(s1); // Passing structure by value
return 0;
}
```

---

#### 2. **By Reference**


A pointer to the structure is passed, allowing the function to modify the original
structure.

#include <stdio.h>

struct Student {
int rollNumber;
float marks;
};

// Function to modify structure


void updateMarks(struct Student *s, float newMarks) {
s->marks = newMarks; // Access using pointer
}

int main() {
struct Student s1 = {101, 95.5};
printf("Before Update: %.2f\n", s1.marks);
updateMarks(&s1, 98.0); // Passing structure by reference
printf("After Update: %.2f\n", s1.marks);
return 0;
}
