Nested structure

To define a nested structure in C, we use the following syntax:


struct outer_structure {
type member1;
type member2;
struct inner_structure {
type inner_member1;
type inner_member2;
} inner;
};

To access the members of a nested structure, we use the dot operator (.). For
example, to access inner_member1 in the nested structure above, we would
use the following syntax:
struct outer_structure outer;
outer.inner.inner_member1 = value;

Program

//C program to implement the nested structure


#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
//Declaration of the main structure
struct Organisation
{
char organisation_name[20];
char org_number[20];
// Declaration of the dependent structure
struct Employee
{
int employee_id;
char name[20];
int salary;
// variable is created which acts
// as member to Organisation structure.
} emp;
};
int main()
{
struct Organisation org;
strcpy(org.organisation_name,"KMCcollege");
strcpy(org.org_number, "GFG1768");
org.emp.employee_id = 101;
strcpy(org.emp.name, "RAM");
org.emp.salary = 400000;

// Printing the details


printf("Organisation Name : %s\n",org.organisation_name);
printf("Organisation Number : %s\n",org.org_number);
printf("Employee id : %d\n",org.emp.employee_id);
printf("Employee name : %s\n",org.emp.name);
printf("Employee Salary : %d\n",org.emp.salary);
}

Passing structure to a function

Following is the function declaration syntax to accept structure variable as


argument.

returnType functionName(struct tagName argName);

Example:

void displayDetail(struct student std);


#include <stdio.h>
struct student {
char name[50];
int age;
};
// function prototype
void display(struct student s);
int main()
{
struct student s1;
printf("Enter name: ");
scanf("%[^\n]s", s1.name);
printf("Enter age: ");
scanf("%d", &s1.age);
display(s1); // passing struct as an argument
return 0;
}
void display(struct student s)
{
printf("\nDisplaying information\n");
printf("Name: %s", s.name);
printf("\nAge: %d", s.age);
}
