C Structures

This lesson is part of C · All levels

Summary

Structure is a custom data type that combines several different variables of the type into one named container. Each part in it is called a member or field, and is accessed via a point sign such as p.nama after storing data on the struct-type variable. Structure is suitable for representing relational data such as student data (name, nim, value) in a single unit. With struct, interconnected data becomes more streamlined and easier to operate.

Key points

Struct is declared with the keyword struct followed by the type name and the list of members
Member is accessed by the point operator (.) of the struct variable
Members may have different types within a single struct
A function can accept struct as an argument, either by copying or by pointer
