Basic structrues
Example 1
Create and instantiate a structure
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct coor {
int x;
int y;
};
int main( void ) {
struct coor place;
place.x = 17;
place.y = 19;
printf("Tallet er %i\n",place.x+place.y);
return(0);
}
Example 2
Same as example 1, but using as typedef
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct coor {
int x;
int y;
};
typedef struct coor coordinate;
int main( void ) {
coordinate place;
place.x = 17;
place.y = 19;
printf("Tallet er %i\n",place.x+place.y);
return(0);
}
Example 3
In example 3 the memory is reserver with malloc and indirect addressing is used to access the structure.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct coor {
int x;
int y;
};
typedef struct coor coordinate;
int main( void ) {
coordinate *place = malloc( sizeof( coordinate ) );
(*place).x = 17; /* One form of indirect addressing shown */
place->y = 19; /* Another form of indirect addressing shown */
printf("Tallet er %i\n",place->x + place->y);
free( place ); /* Always remember to free allocated memory (Good habbit)*/
return( 0 );
}
