Getting Started With C

When you want to copy the contents of one structure variable into another, you can use the assignment operator (=). This will copy each member from the source structure to the destination structure.

  • Examples :

    Program.c


    • Output:

          Coordinates of p1: (3, 7)
      Coordinates of p2: (3, 7)
      In this example, p1 is copied to p2 using the assignment operator.

    Comparing Structure Variables:

    Comparing structures involves comparing their individual members. You need to compare each member of the structures to determine if they are equal.

  • Examples :

    Program.c


    • Output:

            The points are equal.
  In this example, the comparePoints function checks if the x and y members of the two structures are equal. The result is used to determine whether the structures are equal.

    Q1. 

    struct Point {
                            int x;
                            int y;
                        };
                        int main() {
                            struct Point p1 = {3, 7};
                            struct Point p2;
                                return 0;
                        }
                        What is the correct way to copy the content of p1 to p2?

    Q2. 

    struct Temperature {
                            int degrees;
                            char scale;
                        };
                        int compareTemperatures(struct Temperature t1, struct Temperature t2) {
                            return 0;
                        }
                        int main() {
                            struct Temperature temp1 = {25, 'C'};
                            struct Temperature temp2 = {25, 'F'};
                            compareTemperatures(temp1, temp2);
                            return 0;
                        }
                          How can you correctly compare two Temperature structures, t1 and t2?
