Defining a Structure:
struct [structure tag] { member definition; member definition; ... member definition; } [one or more structure variables];ADVERTISEMENTS
struct Books { char title[50]; char author[50]; char subject[100]; int book_id; }book;ADVERTISEMENTSAccessing Structure Members:
#include <iostream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; struct Books { char title[50]; char author[50]; char subject[100]; int book_id; }; int main( ) { struct Books Book1; // Declare Book1 of type Book struct Books Book2; // Declare Book2 of type Book // book 1 specification strcpy( Book1.title, "Learn C++ Programming"); strcpy( Book1.author, "Chand Miyan"); strcpy( Book1.subject, "C++ Programming"); Book1.book_id = 6495407; // book 2 specification strcpy( Book2.title, "Telecom Billing"); strcpy( Book2.author, "Yakit Singha"); strcpy( Book2.subject, "Telecom"); Book2.book_id = 6495700; // Print Book1 info cout << "Book 1 title : " << Book1.title <<endl; cout << "Book 1 author : " << Book1.author <<endl; cout << "Book 1 subject : " << Book1.subject <<endl; cout << "Book 1 id : " << Book1.book_id <<endl; // Print Book2 info cout << "Book 2 title : " << Book2.title <<endl; cout << "Book 2 author : " << Book2.author <<endl; cout << "Book 2 subject : " << Book2.subject <<endl; cout << "Book 2 id : " << Book2.book_id <<endl; return 0; }Structures as Function Arguments:
#include <iostream> #include <cstring> using namespace std; void printBook( struct Books book ); struct Books { char title[50]; char author[50]; char subject[100]; int book_id; }; int main( ) { struct Books Book1; // Declare Book1 of type Book struct Books Book2; // Declare Book2 of type Book // book 1 specification strcpy( Book1.title, "Learn C++ Programming"); strcpy( Book1.author, "Chand Miyan"); strcpy( Book1.subject, "C++ Programming"); Book1.book_id = 6495407; // book 2 specification strcpy( Book2.title, "Telecom Billing"); strcpy( Book2.author, "Yakit Singha"); strcpy( Book2.subject, "Telecom"); Book2.book_id = 6495700; // Print Book1 info printBook( Book1 ); // Print Book2 info printBook( Book2 ); return 0; } void printBook( struct Books book ) { cout << "Book title : " << book.title <<endl; cout << "Book author : " << book.author <<endl; cout << "Book subject : " << book.subject <<endl; cout << "Book id : " << book.book_id <<endl; }Pointers to Structures:
