Getting Started With C

with syntax and key points Each member of a structure can be accessed using the dot (.) operator. Here's a detailed explanation:

Syntax for accessing structure members:

            struct StructureName {
                dataType member1;
                dataType member2;
                // ... more members
            };
            
            // Creating an instance of the structure

            struct StructureName instance;
            
            // Accessing structure members

            instance.member1 = value1;
            instance.member2 = value2;
            

Declaring structure

Use the struct keyword followed by the structure name to declare a structure.
                Inside the curly braces {}, define members with their respective data types.

                struct Point {
                    int x;
                    int y;
                };
               

Creating Structure Instances:

After defining a structure, create instances by specifying the structure name and a variable name. struct Point p1;

Accessing Structure Members:

Use the dot (.) operator to access structure members. p1.x = 10; p1.y = 20;

Assigning Values:

Assign values to structure members using the assignment operator (=). p1.x = 10; p1.y = 20;

Reading Values:

Access structure members to read their values. int xValue = p1.x; int yValue = p1.y;
