Introductution To Structures In C Language


About Structure:-
Arrays allow to define a type of variables that can hold several data items of the
same kind. Similarly, structure is another user-defined data type available in C
that allows to combine data items of different kinds.
Let Us Take An Real Life Example:
If We want to track the following attributes about
each book:
1.Title (May Be String)
2.Author(May Be String)
3.Subject (May Be String)
4.Book ID (Integer Type)
Than We Have to Define A Structure Variable That Can Take This Different Type Of Data-Types.
Syntax For Defining A Structure:-
struct [structure_Name]
{
member definition;
member definition;
...
member definition;
} [one or more structure variables];
For Information of Student The Definition of structure Will Be:
struct student_data
{
 char name[20];
 int roll_Number;
 int standered;
 char father's_name[20];
} std1; //structure Vaiable
 Accesing Structure Members:-
The Members of structure variable accesed by Dot(.) Operator..
Let Us Take Example Of Book Data:-
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
struct Books
{                         
char title[50];
char author[50];
char subject[100];
int book_id;
};
int main( )
{
struct Books Book1; /* Declare Book1 of type Book */
struct Books Book2; /* Declare Book2 of type Book */
/* book 1 specification */
strcpy( Book1.title, "C Programming By Codehubc.blogspot.in");
strcpy( Book1.author, "Mantu Pathak");
strcpy( Book1.subject, "C Programming ");
Book1.book_id = 1234;
/* book 2 specification */
strcpy( Book2.title, "Communication System");
strcpy( Book2.author, "Zara Ali");
strcpy( Book2.subject, "comm. Tutorial");
Book2.book_id = 123456;
/* print Book1 info */
printf( "Book 1 title : %s\n", Book1.title);
printf( "Book 1 author : %s\n", Book1.author);
printf( "Book 1 subject : %s\n", Book1.subject);
printf( "Book 1 book_id : %d\n", Book1.book_id);
/* print Book2 info */
printf( "Book 2 title : %s\n", Book2.title);
printf( "Book 2 author : %s\n", Book2.author);
printf( "Book 2 subject : %s\n", Book2.subject);
printf( "Book 2 book_id : %d\n", Book2.book_id);
return 0;
}

Pointer In C Language

          Introduction To Pointer: About Pointer:- *POINTER is a variable whose value is the address of another variable *Every variable is a memory location and every memory location  has its address defined which can be accessed using ampersand(&)  operator,which denotes an address in memory *Dynamic memory allocation,cannot be performed without using pointers. Let's start learning them in simple and easy steps. pointer variable declaration:- data_type *variable_name; *The asterisk ( * ) used to declare a pointer is the same asterisk used for   multiplication. some of the valid pointer declarations:- int *in;             //pointer to an intege r  double *db;  // pointer to a double  float *fl;         //  pointer to a float  char *chr    //pointer to a character   *The only difference between pointers of different data types is the data type of the va...

Calling Method Of Function In C Language

Calling Method In C Language:- As We Already See That Any Function has Some Arguments Or void If We Use Variable As Argument Then It Is Called FORMAL PARAMETERS. *Formal parameters behave like other local variables inside the function  and are created upon entry into the function and destroyed upon exit. In C Language there are two ways in which arguments can be passed to a function:- 1)Call by value:-      (using value) 2)Call by reference:-  (using pointer) Now We Will See One By One These Arguments By Taking Suitable Example: 1)Call by value:-  *In This Method actual value copies to formal parameter: *Due To That changes made to the parameter inside the function  have no effect on the argument. This will cleared by following example:- Example Program:- //in this program we swap two variable using third variable: #include <stdio.h> /* function declaration */ void swapping(int a, int b); int main () { /* local variable definition */ int x =...

Use Of Pointers In C language

Use Of Pointer In C Language:- We Have already Discussed About Pointe rs In Previous Post. This is the most important and useful IN C programming . The Uses Of Pointers In C Language Is Given below:- 1.Array of pointers:- We Can Use Collection Of Pointer by using   An Array Of Pointers. 2.Pointer to pointer:- C allows you to have pointer on a pointer. 3.Passing pointers to functions:-  We Pass Pointer As  Arguments. Now We Will know About These Uses Of Pointers One By One:- 1.Array of pointers:- In This Method We Declare An array For Storing Pointers: declaration of an array of pointers to an integer:- int *ptr[MIN]; declaration of an array of pointers to an float:- flot *ptr[MIN]; declaration of an array of pointers to a CHAR:- char *ptr[]; Example Program:- THIS PROGRAM DEMONSTRATES ARRAY OF POINTER, WE SIMPLY PRINT ADDRESS AND VALUE OF POINTERS #include <stdio.h> const int MAX = 5; int main () { int *ptr; int var[] = {10, 100, 200,400,500}; int i; ptr=var; for (...
