Processing a Structure in C programming

    

             The members of a structure are usually processed individually, as separate entity. A structure member can be accessed by writing

   structure_variable.member

             Here, structure_variable refers to the name of  a structure-type variable and member refers to the name of a member within the structure. Again, dot that separates the variable name from the member name.

                 In the case of nested structure (if a structure member is itself a structure), the member within inner structure is accessed as

               structure_variable.member.submember                    

                                  This will be clear in nested structure section.

An Example:                

Create a structure named student that has name, roll, marks and remarks as members. Assume appropriate types and size of member. Write a program using structure to read and display the data entered by the user.

void main()

  {

    struct student{               {

                        char name[20];

                        int roll;

                        float marks;

                        char remark;

                        };

   struct student s;

   printf("Enter name:\t");

  gets(s.name);

  printf("\nEnter roll:\t");

  scanf("%d",&s.roll);

  printf("\n Enter marks\t");

  scanf("%f",&s.marks);

  printf("Enter remark p for pass or f for fail\t");

  s.remark=getche();

  printf("\n\n\nThe Detail Information is\n");         printf("\Name=%s\tRoll=%d\nMarks=%f\tRemark=%c",s.name,s.roll,s.marks,s.remark);

  getch();

  }
