STRUCTURES
Introduction
Structure stores related information about an entity. Structure is basically a user-defined data
type that can store related information together. The major difference between a structure and an
array is that an array can store only information of same data type.
Q)What is structure? Explain the C syntax of structure declaration and initialization with
example.(Dec.2015/Jan.2016,Dec.2014/Jan.2015,June2016,Dec.2016/Jan.2017,June2018)
Definition: Structure is a collection of elements of same or different data types under a single
name.
Structure Declaration: A structure is declared using the keyword struct followed by the
structure name. All the variables or members of the structure are declared within the structure.
Syntax for Defining Structure: Example:
struct structure_name struct employee
{ {
datatype member1; char name[20];
datatype member2; float salary;
------------ int empno;
------------ };
datatype member n;
};
Now the structure has become a user-defined data type. Here,
• structure_name is used to identify the structure later in the program.
• Each data type can be any data type in C.
• The item member 1, member 2,-----member n are the members of the structure.
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 1
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Declaring Structure Variables: The structure declaration, does not allocate any memory.
Memory is allocated for the structure when we declare a variable of the structure. The syntax of
declaring structure variables is shown below:
Method 1: Example:
struct structure_name struct employee
{ {
datatype member 1; char name[20];
datatype member 2; float salary;
------------ int empno;
------------ };
datatype member n; struct employee emp1, emp2;
};
struct structure_name variable1, variable2,….;
Method 2: Example:
struct structure_name struct employee
{ {
datatype member 1; char name[20];
datatype member 2; float salary;
------------ int empno;
------------ }emp1, emp2;
datatype member n;
}variable1, variable2,….;
Here emp1, emp2 are the types of employee where emp1 has members name, salary, and empno
consume 20+4+2 bytes that means 26 bytes. Similarly, emp2 consumes 26bytes.
Structure Initialization:
The general syntax:
Method 1: Method 2:
struct structure_name struct structure_name
{ {
datatype member 1; datatype member 1;
datatype member 2; datatype member 2;
------------ ------------
------------ ------------
datatype member n; datatype member n;
} variable = { value1, value2,…valuen,...}; };
struct structure_name variable = { value1,
value2,…valuen,...};
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 2
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Example1:
struct employee
{
char name[20];
float salary;
int empno;
};
struct employee emp1={“Raj”,1000,1};
Example2:
struct employee
{
char name[20];
float salary;
int empno;
} emp1={“Raj”,1000,1};
Define structure. Explain how structure members are accessed using dot operator. [July
2017]
Accessing members of structures (Usingthe Dot (.) Operator):
The member of structure is accessed using the dot operator(.).
Syntax:
struct_variable.membername;
E.g.: [Link]
Example: Consider the structure definition and initialization as shown below:
struct employee
{
char name[10];
float salary ;
int empno;
};
struct employee e = {“Raj”,10000,1};
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 3
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
The members of structure variable e can be accessed using dot operator as illustrated below:
[Link] can access the string “Raj”
[Link] can access the value 10000
[Link] can access the value of 1
Ex 1: Write a program to read structure employee number, name, salary and print the
details.
#include<stdio.h>
struct employee
{
char name[20];
float salary;
int empno;
};
void main()
{
struct employee e;
printf("Enter name, salary and number of employee\n");
scanf("%s%f%d",[Link],&[Link] ,&[Link]);
printf("Entered name salary and number of employee is\n");
printf("%s %f %d",[Link], [Link],[Link]);
}
Output:
Enter name, salary and number of employee
Raj 50000 1
Entered name salary and number of employee is
Raj 50000.000000 1
Ex 2: Write C program to add two complex numbers using structures.
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
struct complex
{
int real;
int imag;
};
void main()
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 4
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
struct complex c1, c2, sum;
printf("Enter real and imaginary part of first complex number:\n");
scanf("%d%d",&[Link],&[Link]);
printf("Enter real and imaginary part of second complex number:\n");
scanf("%d%d",&[Link],&[Link]);
[Link] = [Link] + [Link];
[Link] = [Link] + [Link];
printf("Sum=%d+%di",[Link], [Link]);
}
******************************
COPYING AND COMPARING STRUCTURES
Two variables of the same structure type can be copied the same way as ordinary variables.
Syntax:
structstructure_name
{
datatype member1;
datatype member2;
.
.
.
datatype member;
};
struct structurename variable1, variable2= {list of elements};
variable1=variable2;
E.g.:
struct student
{
int roll_no;
char name[30];
float marks;
};
struct student s1, s2 = {123, “John”,92};
s1=s2;
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 5
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
C does not permit comparison of one structure variable with another. However, individual
members of one structure can be compared with individual members of another structure.
For example, to compare the marks of two students, we will write
if(s1. marks > s2. marks)
***************************
Write a note with example on i) array within structure ii) arrays of structure iii)structure
within structure.[Dec 2018]
ARRAY WITHIN (INSIDE) STRUCTURE
Array within(inside) Structure means there is an array inside structure.
E.g.:
#include<stdio.h>
struct student
{
char name[20];
int usn;
int marks[3];//array within the structure
};
void main()
{
struct student s;
int i,n,total=0;
printf("Enter the usn and name\n");
scanf("%d%s",&[Link],[Link]);
printf("Enter marks in 3 subjects\n");
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
scanf("%d",&[Link][i]);
total = total + [Link][i];
}
printf("Student with usn %d and name %s has total marks=%d\n",[Link],[Link],total);
}
Output
Enter the usn and name
101
Raj
Enter marks in 3 subjects
50 60 70
Student with usn 101 and name Raj has total marks=180
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 6
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Explain the concept of array of structures, with a suitable C program. ( Dec.2014/Jan.2015)
ARRAY OF STRUCTURES
Syntax:
struct structurename
{
datatype member1;
datatype member2;
.
.
.
datatype member;
};
struct structurenamearray[size];
Eg 1: Eg 2:
struct student struct student
{ {
int roll_no; int roll_no;
char name[30]; char name[30];
float marks; float marks;
}; }s[100];
struct student s[100];
Accessing members of array of structure:
structure_variable[subscript].members;
to access first student
s[0].roll_no
s[0].name
s[0].marks
to access last student
s[99].roll_no
s[99].name
s[99].marks
Write a C program to read name, USN, and marks of n students and display the sum and
average of the marks using structure.(July 2021)
#include <stdio.h>
struct student
{
int usn, marks;
char name[20];
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 7
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
}s[20];
void main()
{
int i, n;
float total = 0, avg;
printf("Enter the number of students\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
printf("Enter the USN:");
scanf("%d", &s[i].usn);
printf("Enter the student name:");
scanf("%s", s[i].name);
printf("Enter the marks:");
scanf("%d", &s[i].marks);
total = total + s[i].marks;
}
avg = total / n;
printf(“the sum is %f \t the total is %f”,total,avg);
}
Output:
Enter the number of students
2
Enter the USN:11
Enter the student name:aaa
Enter the marks:80
Enter the USN:12
Enter the student name:bbb
Enter the marks:90
the sum is 170.000000 the average is 85.000000
Write a C program to read name, USN, and marks of n student using structure. Also
search marks of a student based on name. (Jan 20)
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

char name[20];
};
void main()
{
int i,n;
char sname[30]; //student name is to be searched
struct student s[100];
printf("Enter the number of the students\n");
scanf("%d",&n);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
printf("Enter the USN:");
scanf("%d",&s[i].usn);

}
printf("Enter a name of a student to be searched\n");
scanf("%s",sname);
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
if(strcmp(sname, s[i].name)==0)
{
printf("%s scored %d marks",sname,s[i].marks);
exit(0);
}
}
printf("Student is not found");
}
Output:
Enter the number of the students

Enter the USN:11
Enter the name of student:Veena
Enter the marks:87
Enter the USN:12
Enter the name of student:Suhas
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 9
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Enter the marks:90
Enter a name of a student to be searched
Suhas
Suhas scored 90 marks
Implement structures to read, write and compute average- marks of the students, list the students
scoring above and below the average marks for a class of N students.(Jan 19)(lab program)
#include <stdio.h>
struct student
{
int usn, marks;
char name[20];
}s[20];
void main()
{
int i, n;
float total = 0, avg;
printf("Enter the number of student\n");
scanf("%d", &n);
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
printf("Enter the USN:");
scanf("%d", &s[i].usn);
printf("Enter the student name without white spaces:");
scanf("%s", s[i].name);
printf("Enter the marks:");
scanf("%d", &s[i].marks);
total = total + s[i].marks;
}
avg = total / n;
printf("Students scored above the average marks\nUSN\tNAME\tMARKS\n");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (s[i].marks >= avg)
{
printf("%d\t%s\t%d\n", s[i].usn, s[i].name, s[i].marks);
}
}
printf("Students scored below the average marks\nUSN\tNAME\tMARKS\n");
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (s[i].marks < avg)
{
printf("%d\t%s\t%d\n", s[i].usn, s[i].name, s[i].marks);
}
}
}

Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Explain structures within a structure with an example. (June 2016,July 2021)
STRUCTURES WITHIN STRUCTURES (NESTED STRUCTURES):
• A structure inside another structure is called a nested structure. A structure is a member
of another structure.
Syntax:
struct structure_name1
{
datatype member1;
.
.
datatype member;
};
struct structure_name2
{
datatype member1;
.
.
struct structure_name1 variable;
};
Consider the following example program.
#include<stdio.h>
struct date
{
int d;
int m;
int y;
};
struct employee
{
char name[20];
float salary;
int empno;
struct date doj;
};
void main()
{
struct employee e;
[Link].d= 10;
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 11
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
[Link].m=1;
[Link].y=2020;
printf(“Date of Joining of employee is %d\n”,[Link].d);
printf(“Month of Joining of employee is %d\n”,[Link].m);
printf(“Year of joining of employee is %d\n”, [Link].y);
}
Output:
Date of Joining of employee is 10
Month of Joining of employee is 1
Year of Joining of employee is 2020
*****************************************
STRUCTURES AND FUNCTIONS
There are three types of parameter passing in functions based on structures.
1. Passing individual members of a structure to function
2. Passing entire structure to a function
3. Passing structure as a pointer to a function
1) Passing individual members of a structure to function:
Ex: Program to add two integers using structure and function
#include <stdio.h>
struct addition
{
int a,b;
};
void add(int a, int b)
{
int c;
c=a+b;
printf(“sum=%d”,c);
}
void main()
{
struct addition p;
printf(“enter two integers\n”);
scanf(%d%d”,&p.a,&p.b);
add(p.a,p.b);
}
In this program a and b are two members of structure addition they are accessed in function main
and passed to add() for addition purpose.
2)Passing entire structure to a function:
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 12
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Q) Write a C program that accepts a structure variable as a parameter to a function from
a function call. (June 2019)
Ex: Program to add two integers using structure and function
#include <stdio.h>
struct addition
{
int a,b;
}
void add(struct addition p)
{
int c;
c=p.a+p.b;
printf(“sum=%d”,c);
}
void main()
{
struct addition p;
printf(“enter two integers\n”);
scanf(“%d%d”,&p.a,&p.b);
add(p);
}
In this program the function call has structure as a parameter. Since the function is working on a
copy of the structure, any changes to structure members within the function are not reflected in
the original structure (in the calling function).
3)Passing structure as a pointer to a function:
This approach employs a concept called pointers to pass the structure as an argument. To access
the members of a structure using pointer ‘pointing-to’ operator(->) is used. In this case, the
address of the structure is passed to the called function. The function can access indirectly the
entire structure and work on it.
Ex: Program to add two integers using structure and function
#include <stdio.h>
struct addition
{
int a,b;
};
void add(struct addition *ptr)
{
int c;
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 13
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
c=ptr->a + ptr ->b;
printf(“sum=%d”,c);
}
void main()
{
struct addition x,*p;
p= &x;
printf(“enter two integers\n”);
scanf(“%d%d”, &p->a, &p ->b);
add(p);
}
In above program x is a pointer used to access members of addition structure a and b
respectively. In function call address of members, a and b are passed to the function definition to
process sum.
*********************************
Explain typedef with example [Jan 2018]
TYPE DEFINITION (typedef):
The typedef is a keyword using which the programmer can create a new data type name for an
already existing data type name.
Syntax:
typedef < existing_name> <new_name>;
In the above syntax, 'existing_name' is the name of an already existing variable while
‘new_name’ is another name given to the existing variable.
E.g.: int a, b;
Above statement is possible to write like below,
typedef int unit;
unit a, b;
In above example unit is alternate name for int, where unit is of type integer.
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 14
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
typedef in structure:
Syntax:
typedef struct structure_name
{
datatype member1;
.
.
datatype membern;
} new_structurename;
new_structurename variable1, variable2,…;
• The typedef is keyword used in front of struct keyword.
• While declaring the variables for structure keyword struct is not used
E.g.:
typedef struct student
{
char name[20];
int age;
}stud;
stud s1,s2;
Example program:
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct student
{
char name[20];
int age;
}stud;
void main()
{
stud s1;
printf("Enter the details of student: ");
printf("\nEnter the name and age of student:");
scanf("%s%d",[Link],&[Link]);
printf("\n Name of the student is : %s", [Link]);
printf("\n Age of the student is : %d", [Link]);
}
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 15
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Output
Enter the details of student:
Enter the name and age of student: Anil 30
Name of the student is : Anil
Age of the student is : 30
Q) Write a C program to compare two student structures with data members name and
marks and print if students are same or different. (June 2018)
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
struct student
{
char name[20];
int marks;
};
void main()
{
struct student s1={"Raj",90};
struct student s2={"Raj",90};
int result;
result=strcmp([Link],[Link]);
if(result==0 && [Link]==[Link])
printf("Students are same");
else
printf("Students are different");
}
Output:
Students are same
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 16
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Q)Differentiate between structure and array. Explain the syntax of structure declaration in
C with example.(Jan 2021)
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ARRAYS AND STRUCTURE
Arrays Structures
An array is a collection of elements of the
Structure is a collection of elements of
same data type. different data type.
An array is a derived data type. A structure is a user defined data type.
Array uses index/subscript for accessingStructures uses (.) operator for accessing
elements of the array. the member of a structure.
Array name points to the first element in that
Structure name does not point to the first
array so, array name is a pointer. element in that structure so, structure
name is not a pointer.
To access an element requires less time To access a member requires more time
compared with structure. compared with an array
Syntax: Syntax:
type array_name[size]; struct sruct_name{
type element1;
type element1;
.
.
} variable1, variable2, . .;
Eg: int a[10]; Eg: struct employee
{
char name[20];
int empno;
float salary;
};
UNION
• Union is an user defined data type.
• Similar to structures, It is a collection of related variables of same or different data types.
• There is distinction between structure and union. In structures, each member has its own
storage location, where as all the members of a union use the same location, the fields of
a union will share memory. Union can handle only one member at a time.
• Unions are used to save memory. They are useful for applications that involve multiple
members and values of all members not needed at same time.
Declaring a Union:
Syntax:
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 17
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
union name
{ Example:
datatype member 1; union student
datatype member 2; {
: int rollno;
datatype member n char name[30];
}; float marks;
};
DECLARING UNION VARIABLE
union name
Example:
{
union student
datatype member 1;
{
datatype member 2;
int rollno;
:
char name[10];
datatype member n;
float marks;
} variable1, variable2,…;
} s1 ;
In the above example, name member requires 10 bytes, compiler allocates 10 bytes for union
variable s1 and figure shows how all members share same memory.
Accessing a Member of a Union
To access the fields of a union, use the dot operator (.), i.e.,the union variable name followed by
the dot operator followed by the member name.
Initializing Unions
The difference between a structure and a union is that in case of a union, the fields share the
same memory space, so new data replaces any existing data. The fields of a union cannot be
initialized all at once.
Example program:
#include <stdio.h>
union POINT
{
int x;
int y;
}p;
void main()
{
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 18
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
p.x = 4;
p.y = 5;
printf("\n The coordinates of p are %d and %d", p.x, p.y);
}
Output
The coordinates of P are 5 and 5
Programming Tip
UNIONS INSIDE STRUCTURES
Unions can be very useful when declared inside a structure. Consider an example in which we
want a field of a structure to contain a string or an integer, depending on what the user specifies.
The following code illustrates such a scenario:
#include <stdio.h>
struct student
{
union
{
char name[20];
int roll_no;
};
int marks;
};
int main()
{
struct student stud;
char ch;
printf("\n Do you want to enter the name? (Y or N): ");
scanf(“%c”,&ch);
if(ch= =‘Y’)
{
printf("\n Enter the name: ");
gets([Link]);
}
else
{
printf("\n Enter the roll number: ");
scanf("%d", &stud.roll_no);
}
printf("\n Enter the marks: ");
scanf("%d", &[Link]);
}
Q) What is union? How to declare Union? List out the differences and similarities between
Structure and Union. (Feb 2022)
Similarities between Structure and Union.
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 19
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
1. Both are user-defined data types used to store data of same or different types as a single unit.
2. Their members can be of any type, including other structures and unions or arrays.
3. Both structures and unions support only assignment = operator. The two structures or unions
in the assignment must have the same members and member types.
4. A structure or a union can be passed by value to functions and returned by value by functions.
5. ‘.’ operator is used for accessing members.
Differences and similarities between Structure and Union.
Structure Union
struct keyword to define a structure. union keyword to define a union.
Every member within structure is assigned a In union, a memory location is shared by all
unique memory location. the data members.
The total size of the structure is the sum of the
The total size of the union is the size of the
size of every data member. largest data member.
It is mainly used for storing various data types.
It is mainly used for storing one of the many
data types that are available.
We can retrieve any member at a time. We can access one member at a time in the
union.
Changing the value of one data member will Changing the value of one data member will
not affect other data members in structure. change the value of other data members in
union.
***************************
ENUMERATED DATA TYPE
Enumerated data type: It is a user-defined data type.
Syntax of creating it is :
enum enumeration_name{ identifier 1, identifier 2, .. identifier n};
Here ,
• enum is keyword
• enumeration_name is user-defined enumerated data type
• identifier 1, identifier 2, .. identifier n are enumeration constants.
The compiler automatically assigns integer digits beginning with 0 to all the enumeration
constants. That is, the enumeration constant identifier1 is assigned 0, identifier2 is assigned 1,
and so on.
Example:
enum day {Mon, Tues, Wed};
Here, enum day is enumerated data type and it is the name given to set enumeration constants
Mon, Tues, Wed with the values,
Mon=0, Tues=1, Wed=2
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 20
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
This automatic assignments can be overridden by assigning values explicitly to the enumeration
constants.
For example
enum day {Mon = 1, Tues, Wed};
Here,
Mon=1, Tues=2, Wed=3.
Constant Mon is assigned with 1 and remaining constants are assigned values that increase
successively by 1.
Enumerated Variables and Assigning Values to Enumerated Variables:
Syntax of declaring Enumerated Variables is:
enum enumeration_name { identifier1 , identifier2, .. identifier n }v1,v2,…,vn;
or
enum enumeration_name { identifier1, identifier2, .. identifier n};
enum enumeration_name v1,v2,…,vn;
The enumerated variables v1, v2, .. vn can only have one of the values identifier 1, identifier 2, ..
identifier n.
The following assignments are valid:
v1 = identifier3;
v5 = identifier1;
Example:
enum day {Mon, Tues, Wed}d1,d2;
d1= Mon;
d2= Tues;
Example program:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
enum colour{ Red,Blue,Green };
enum colour c;
printf(“%d”,Red);
c= Red;
printf(“%d\t”,c);
c= Blue;
printf(“%d”,c);
}
Comparing enum variables:
C allows to compare enum variables.
Ex: enum day {Mon, Tues, Wed}d1,d2;
d1= Mon;
if ( d1==Mon)
d2=Wed;
CSE Dept,VCET, Puttur. Page 21
Principles of Programming using C BPOPS103
Enumeration Type Conversion:
We can type cast, an integer to an enumerated type.
Ex:
enum day {Mon, Tues, Wed};
enum day d1;
d= Mon; //valid in C
d = 2; // illegal in C
d = (enum day) 2; // valid in C
