Declaring and Accessing Structure Elements

DECLARING AND ACCESSING STRUCTURE ELEMENT

Declaration :

struct structure_name {
    data_type member1;
    data_type member2;
    // more members if needed
};

where,

• struct: Keyword used to define a structure.
• structure_name: Name of the structure.
• data_type: Data type of each member variable.
• member1, member2, etc.: Names of the member variables within the structure

ACCESSING STRUCTURE ELEMENT

To access the members of a structure in C, you use the dot (.) operator followed by the member name. 

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
// Define a structure named 'Student'
  struct Student {
    char name[50];
    int age;
    float mark;
};
    // Declare a variable s of type 'struct Student'
    struct Student s;

    gets(s.name);
    scanf("%d%f",&s.age,&s.mark);

    // Accessing and printing the values of 'person1' members
    printf("Name: %s\n", s.name);
    printf("Age: %d\n", s.age);
    printf("Mark: %.2f\n", s.mark);

}

• To access the name member of Student, we use s.name.
• To access the age member of Student, we use s.age.
• To access the mark member of Student, we use s.mark.
