Structure within another structure (Nested Structure) in C programming


     One structure can be nested within another structure in C. Let us consider an structure mark which has members subject and marks. This can be nested within another structure student. This can be done as follow.
   struct mark{
               char subject[20];
               float marks;
                };
This structure can be nested within another structure as its member.
  struct student {
            char name[20];
            int roll;
            struct mark studentM;
            char remark;
             }s;
Here, structure student contains a member studentM which is itself a structure with two members. The members within structure mark are accessed as
                   s.studentM.subject and s.studentM.marks
But the members within student structure are accessed as usual
         s.name, s.roll and s.remark
The above nested structure can be nested in alternative way.
            
struct student {
            char name[20];
            int roll;
            char remark;
            struct mark{
               char subject[20];
               float marks;
                }studentM;
 }s;

   Example:
         Create a structure named mark that has subject and marks as its members. Include this structure as a member for student structure created in program1. Use this structure to read and display student’s name, roll, subject, marks and remarks.
void main()
  {
  struct mark{
               char subject[20];
               float marks;
                };
  struct student {
            char name[20];
            int roll;
            struct mark studentM;
            char remark;
             };
    struct student s;
      printf("Enter name:\t");
      scanf("%s",s.name);
      printf("\nEnter roll:\t");
      scanf("%d",&s.roll);
      printf("\nEnter Subject Name:\t");
      scanf("%s",s.studentM.subject);
      printf("\n Enter marks\t");
     scanf("%f",&s.studentM.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\nSubject=%s\tMarks=%f\nRemark=%c",s.name,
                                 s.roll,s.studentM.subject,s.studentM.marks,s.remark);
  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...

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

PGA reffered as pin grid array in which pins of CPU are lined up in a straight format. SPGA referred as staggered pin grid array. in which pins of CPU are arranged staggered format. LGA reffered to as Land Grid Array in which pins are available within inside the socket but not in the CPU in other words in line grid array, in CPU ther are no pinsbut insteadpins areattached with in a socket which contact with with the CPU. for e.g. LGA775 socket(no pins on cpu) has better cooling system. better contact and better locking(climbing). LGA1155: Letest generation I socket, also reffered as sandy bridge, Turbo boost overclocking. More resent than LGA 1156 socket. LGA1156: ability to north bridge Doul channel DDR3 optional integreted graphics PCI express LGA1366: hi end core i series socket integreted tiple channal memmory controller external control bridge(HUB) Upgrading CPU: need to check its core suppert check multiprocessor supports or not check on the ...

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...
