First, you need to define the structure using the struct keyword. The structure definition includes the data members (variables) that will be part of the structure.
struct Person { char name[50]; int age; float height; };In this example, we define a structure named Person with three members: name (a character array), age (an integer), and height (a float).
The syntax for declaring structure variables in C is as follows:
struct structure_name { // member1 declaration // member2 declaration // ... };// Declare structure variables
Here's a breakdown:
Example: struct Person person1, person2; Here, we declare two variables of type struct Person named person1 and person2.
You can initialize the structure variables at the time of declaration or later using the assignment operator (=). struct Person person1 = {"John Doe", 25, 5.8}; Alternatively, you can initialize the members separately: person2.age = 30; person2.height = 6.1; strcpy(person2.name, "Jane Smith");
