What is a structure in c programing?

Answer 1

A rectangle might have a width, a height, a color, and a fill

pattern. C lets us organize these four items into one group called a

structure. Example

struct rectangle {

int width; /* Width of rectangle in pixels */

int height; /* Height of rectangle in pixels */

color_type color; /* Color of the rectangle */

fill_type fill; /* Fill pattern */

}; Another example suppose we want to record

the time a runner completes each lap of a four -lap race. We define a structure to

store the time:

struct time {

int hour; /* hour (24 hour clock ) */

int minute; /* 0-59 */

int second; /* 0-59 */

}; A rectangle might have a width, a height, a color, and a fill

pattern. C lets us organize these four items into one group called a

structure. Example

struct rectangle {

int width; /* Width of rectangle in pixels */

int height; /* Height of rectangle in pixels */

color_type color; /* Color of the rectangle */

fill_type fill; /* Fill pattern */

}; Another example suppose we want to record

the time a runner completes each lap of a four -lap race. We define a structure to

int second; /* 0-59 */

};

Answer 2

It is basicly (This is a verry basic explaination)...

You can create your own types! Which Each Hold Other types !?

Such as

#include stuff and this and that.

struct Cat

{

int How_Many_Whiskers;

bool Is_Dead;

bool Is_Hungry;

}Sooty; //Sooty is now a member (?) Of Cat!

int main

{

Sooty.How_Many_Whiskers = 10;//Cat has 10 Whiskers.

Cat Snowdrop;//Snowdrop is a member (?) of Cat

Snowdrop.How_Many_Whiskers = 11;

cout<<"Snowdrop.Is_Dead";//This is how you cout structs

}

//you can do structs inside structs to!

//It would be something like for example

//Cat Cat_Type Sooty;

//

Sorry If I dont make that much sense :) Just Google struct or structures of you are confused. They are good for inventorys, such as the rpg game I am making:

eg:

struct Inventory

{

int Number;

int Sell;

int Buy;

int Damage;

int Health;

int Variation;

int Defence;

char Icon;

int Charge;

bool Quest_Item;

};
