Array of structure in C programming


     Like array of int, float or char type, there may be array of structure. In our previous structure example, if we want to keep record of more students, we can make more structure variables like st1, st2, st3, ….so on. But this technique is inefficient. At this situation, we can use array of structure. The array of structure is declared as
           struct  structure_variable[size_of_array];
      This is illustrated by following program.

Example:
        Modify the above program such that it works to keep records of five students. Use array of structure.
void main()
  {
  struct student {
                       char name[20];
                        int roll;
                       float marks;
                       char remarks;
                        };
  struct student s[5];  int i; //array declaration
 for(i=0;i<5;i++)
    {
   printf("\n\n\nEnter information of Student [%d]\n",i);
   printf("Enter name:\t");
   scanf("%s",&s[i].name);
   printf("\nEnter roll:\t");
   scanf("%d",&s[i].roll);
   printf("\n Enter marks\t");
   scanf("%f",&s[i].marks);
   printf("Enter remarks p for pass or f for fail\t");
   s[i].remarks=getche();
   }
    printf("\n\nYour Entered Information is:\n");
  for(i=0;i<5;i++)
  {
    printf("\nStudent %d\n",i);      
printf("\Name=%s\tRoll=%d\nMarks=%d\tRemarks=%c",s[i].name,s[i].roll,s[i].marks,s[i].remarks);
    }
    getch();
  }

Passing arrays to functions in C programming

Like any other variables, we can also pass entire array to a function. An array name can be named as an argument for the prototype declaration and in function header. When we call the function no need to subscript or square brackets. When we pass array that pass as a call by reference because the array name is address for that array. /* Program to illustrate passing array to function */ #include<stdio.h> void display(int) ; /* function prototype */ main( ) { int num[5] = {100, 20, 40, 15, 33, i ; clrscr( ) ; printf (“\n The content of array is \n”) ; for (i=0; i<5; i++) display (num[i]) ; /*Pass array element fo fun */ getch{ } ; } void display(int n) { printf (“\t%d”, n ) ; } Output:     The content of array is 100      20       40       15 3 /* Program to read 10 numbers from keyboard to store these num into array and then c...

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming Programming paradigm that represents the concept of "objects" that have data fields (attributes that describe the object) and associated procedures known as methods Programming methodology based on objects, instead of just functions and procedures Focuses on data rather than process As individual objects can be modified without affecting other aspects of the program, it is easier for programmers to structure and organize software programs Easier to update and change programs written in object-oriented languages Simula was the first object oriented programming language Eg: C++, Java, etc. Features of OOPS Objects Referred as instance of class Basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system a person, a place, a bank account, a table of data, etc can be an object They occupy space in memory that keeps its state  Each object contains data and code to manipulate the data  Classes Blue print or prototype  which ...

Recursive Function in C programming

             If a statement within the body of a function calls the same function, the function is called recursive function. Actually, recursion is a process by which a function calls itself repeatedly until some specified condition has been satisfied. This process is used for repetitive computations in which each action is stated in term of previous result. Many iterative or repetitive problems can be written in this form.                To solve a problem using recursive method, two conditions must be satisfied. They are: 1)       Problem could be written or defined in term of its previous result. 2)       Problem statement must include a stopping condition. /*   An example of recursive function to calculate factorial of a number.*/    #include<stdio.h>    #include<conio.h...
