What is Structure in C Programming ?



STRUCTURE IN C LANGUAGE

 
A structure is the collection of different data Items and having on common name.  The general syntax for defining a structure is as follows:-
     Struct
{
    ;
}    < structure variable>;
We can directly access all the data members of the structure with the help of
< Structure variable>and (.)Dot operator.
For example: –      struct student
                      {
                             int   suo, age;
                            char name [25];
                       } s;
If we want to access sno that we can directly access with the help of s.sno}

ARRAY OF STRUCTURE: if we want to store more than one student’s data
