STRUCTURES IN C (C)

The document explains the difference between arrays and structures in C, highlighting that arrays hold multiple items of the same type while structures can combine different types. It introduces the 'typedef' keyword, which allows users to create descriptive names for standard and user-defined data types. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to use 'typedef' with structures and how to input and display data using these types.

STRUCTURES: typedef

keyword
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARRAY &
STRUCTURE:

C arrays allow you to define type of variables


that can hold several data items of the
same kind but structure is a user defined
data type, which allows you to combine data
items of different kinds .
Typedef:
The tydedef keyword allows users to give descriptive names for the
standard data types. In other words, an alias type name can be
defined for a standard data type.
The syntax is:
tydedef datatype name;
Where,
Datatype: any standard data type
Name: new name for this type
You can also use typedef to give a name to your user
defined data types as well. For example, you can use
typedef with structure to define a new data type and then
use that data type to define structure variables directly

typedef struct student


{
int rollno;
char name[20];
int clas;
float marks;
char grade;
}senior;
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
typedef int marks ;
Enter the value
marks m; 90
printf("\n enter the value"); 90
scanf("%d",&m);
printf("\n%d",m);
return 0;
}
#include<stdio.h> Enter rollno, name,class, marks, grade
typedef struct student
4322
{
int rollno;
John
char name[20]; 12
int clas; 78
float marks; B
char grade;
4322
}senior;
senior stud1;
John
int main(){ 78
printf("\n Enter rollno, name, class,marks, grade\n"); 12
scanf("%d",&stud1.rollno); B
fflush(stdin);
gets(stud1.name);
scanf("%d",&stud1.clas);
scanf("%f",&stud1.marks) ;
fflush(stdin);
scanf("%c",&stud1.grade);
printf("\n %d", stud1.rollno );
printf("\n %s", stud1.name) ;
printf("\n %f", stud1.marks) ;
printf("\n %d", stud1.clas );
printf("\n %c", stud1.grade) ;
return 0;
}
