Here are the member elements of the car structure: struct car { string make; string model; int year; float price; };

1. Structures

2. Introducing Structures
 A structure is a collection of multiple data types
that can be referenced with single name.
 The data items in structure are called structure
members, elements, or fields.
 The difference between array and structure: is that
array must consists of a set of values of same data
type but on the other hand, structure may consists
of different data types.

3. Introducing Structures
 The difference between classes and structure: is
that A structure (as typically used) is a collection of
data, while a class is a collection of both data and
functions.
 Classes deals with objects, structures deal with
variables

4. Defining the Structure
• Structure definition tells how
the structure is organized: it
specifies what members the
structure will contain.
Syntax & Example 
Syntax:
struct StructName
{
DataType1 Identifier1;
DataType2 Identifier2;
.
.
.
};
Example:
struct Product
{
int ID;
string name;
float price;
};

5. Structure Definition Syntax

6. Declaring a Structure variable
• Structure variable can be defined after the definition of
a structure. The syntax of the declaration is:
StructName Identifier;
Example:
part processor;
part keyboard;
• This declaration tells the compiler to allocate memory
space according to the elements of the structure.
• The structure variable processor and keyboard occupies 12
bytes in the memory. 4 bytes for modelnumber, 4 bytes for
partnumber, 4 bytes for cost

7. Structure members in memory
struct part
{
int modelnumber;
int partnumber;
float cost;
};
modelnumber
partnumber
cost
4 Bytes
4 Bytes
4 Bytes

8. Another way of Declaring a Structure variable
• You can also declare struct variables when you
define the struct. For example:
struct part
{
int modelnumber;
int partnumber;
float cost;
} part1;
 These statements define the struct named part and
also declare part1 to be a variable of type part.

9. Examples
struct employee
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
string address;
double salary;
int deptID;
};
employee e1;
struct student
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
char courseGrade;
int Score;
double CGPA;
} s1, s2;

10. Initializing Structure Variables
• The syntax of initializing structure is:
StructName struct_identifier = {Value1, Value2, …};

11. Structure Variable Initialization with Declaration
Note: Values should be written in the same sequence in which
they are specified in structure definition.
struct student
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
char courseGrade;
int marks;
};
void main( )
{
student BC022010= {“M”, “Umar”, ‘A’, 94} ;
}

12. Assigning Values to Structure Variables
• After creating structure variable, values to structure
members can be assigned using dot (.) operator
• The syntax is as follows:
student BC111017;
BC111017.firstName = “Muhammad”;
BC111017.lastName = “Umar”;
BC111017.courseGrade = ‘A’;
BC111017.marks = 93;

13. Assigning Values to Structure Variables
• After creating structure variable, values to structure
members can be assigned using cin.
• Output to screen using cout
student BC012311;
cin>>BC012311.firstName;
cin>>BC012311.lastName;
cin>>BC012311.courseGrade;
cin>>BC012311.marks ;
cout<<BC012311.firstName<<BC012311.lastName;

14. Assigning one Structure Variable to another
• A structure variable can be assigned to another
structure variable only if both are of same type
• A structure variable can be initialized by assigning
another structure variable to it by using the assignment
operator as follows:
Example:
studentType newStudent = {“John”, “Lee”, ‘A’, 99} ;
studentType student2 = newStudent;

15. Structure Example Program 1
// uses parts inventory to demonstrate structures
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
struct part //declare a structure
{
int modelnumber; //ID number of widget
int partnumber; //ID number of widget part
float cost; //cost of part
};
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
int main() {
part part1; //define a structure variable
part1.modelnumber = 6244; //give values to structure members
part1.partnumber = 373;
part1.cost = 217.55F;
//display structure members
cout << “Model “ << part1.modelnumber;
cout << “, part “ << part1.partnumber;
cout << “, costs $” << part1.cost << endl;
return 0; }
The program’s output looks like this:
Model 6244, part 373, costs $217.55

16. Structure Example Program 2 (Initialization)
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct part { //declare a structure
int modelnumber; //ID number of widget
int partnumber; //ID number of widget part
float cost; //cost of part
};
int main() {
part part1 = { 6244, 373, 217.55F }; //define a structure
variable
part part2; //define variable
cout << “Model “ << part1.modelnumber;
cout << “, part “ << part1.partnumber;
cout << “, costs $” << part1.cost << endl;
part2 = part1; //assign first variable to second
cout << “Model “ << part2.modelnumber;
cout << “, part “ << part2.partnumber;
cout << “, costs $” << part2.cost << endl; return 0; }
The program’s output looks like this:
Model 6244, part 373, costs $217.55
Model 6244, part 373, costs $217.55

18. Structure Example Program 3
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Distance //English distance
{
int feet;
float inches;
};
int main() {
Distance d1, d3; //define two lengths
Distance d2 = { 11, 6.25 }; //define & initialize one length
//get length d1 from user
cout << “nEnter feet: “; cin >> d1.feet;
cout << “Enter inches: “; cin >> d1.inches;
//add lengths d1 and d2 to get d3
d3.inches = d1.inches + d2.inches; //add the inches
//display all lengths
cout << d1.feet << “’-” << d1.inches << “” + “; cout <<
d2.feet << “’-” << d2.inches << “” = “; cout << d3.feet <<
“’-” << d3.inches << “”n”; return 0; }
d3 = d1 + d2; // can’t do this in

19. Array of Structures
• An array can also be created of user-defined type such as:
structure.
• An array of structure is a type of array in which each element
contains a complete structure.
struct Book
{
int ID;
int Pages;
float Price;
};
Book MAJULibrary[100]; // declaration of array of structures
MAJULibrary[0]
ID Pages Price
…
MAJULibrary[1]
ID Pages Price
MAJULibrary[99]
ID Pages Price

20. Initialization of Array of Structures
struct Book
{
int ID;
int Pages;
float Price;
};
Book b[3]; // declaration of array of structures
• Initializing can be at the time of declaration
Book b[3] = {{1,275,70},{2,600,90},{3,786,100}};
• Or can be assigned values using cin:
cin>>b[0].ID ;
cin>>b[0].Pages;
cin>>b[0].Price;

21. Array as Member of Structures
• A structure may also contain arrays as members.
struct Student
{
int RollNo;
float Marks[3];
};
• Initialization can be done at time of declaration:
Student S = {1, {70.0, 90.0, 97.0} };

22. Array as Member of Structures
• Or it can be assigned values later in the program:
Student S;
S.RollNo = 1;
S.Marks[0] = 70.0;
S.Marks[1] = 90.0;
S.Marks[2] = 97.0;
• Or user can use cin to get input directly:
cin>>S.RollNo;
cin>>S.Marks[0];
cin>>S.Marks[1];
cin>>S.Marks[2];

23. Structure Example Program 4
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct part {
int modelnumber;
int partnumber;
float cost; };
int main() {
part apart[4]; //define array of structures
for(int i=0; i<4; i++){//get values
cout << “Enter model number: “;
cin >> apart[i].modelnumber;
cout << “Enter part number: “;
cin >> apart[i].partnumber;
cout << “Enter cost: “;
cin >> apart[i].cost;
cout << endl; }
cout << endl;
for(int i=0; i<4; i++) //show values
{
cout << “Model “ << apart[i].modelnumbe
cout << “ Part “ << apart[i].partnumber;
cout << “ Cost “ << apart[i].cost << endl;
}
return 0; }

32. Nested Structure
• A structure can be a member of another structure:
called nesting of structure
struct A
{
int x;
double y;
};
struct B
{
char ch;
A v1;
};
B record;
record
v1
x
ch y

33. Initializing/Assigning to Nested Structure
struct A{
int x;
float y;
};
struct B{
char ch;
A v2;
};
void main()
{
B record;
cin>>record.ch;
cin>>record.v2.x;
cin>>record.v2.y;
}
void main()
{
B record = {‘S’, {100, 3.6} };
}
void main()
{
B record;
record.ch = ‘S’;
record.v2.x = 100;
record.v2.y = 3.6;
}

34. #include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Distance { //English distance
int feet;
float inches;
};
void engldisp( Distance dd); //declaration of function
int main() {
Distance d1, d2;
cout << “Enter feet: “; cin >> d1.feet;
cout << “Enter inches: “; cin >> d1.inches;
cout << “nEnter feet: “; cin >> d2.feet;
cout << “Enter inches: “; cin >> d2.inches;
cout << “d1 = “; engldisp(d1);
cout << “d2 = “; engldisp(d2);
return 0; }

d1 = 6’-4”
d2 = 5’-4.25”

35. Structures as Arguments
c
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Person {
int age;
float salary;
};
void displayData(Person);
int main() {
Person p;
cout << "Enter age: ";
cin >> p.age;
cout << "Enter salary: ";
cin >> p.salary;
displayData(p);
return 0;
}
void displayData(Person p)
{
cout << "nDisplaying Information." << endl;
cout <<"Age: " << p.age << endl;
cout << "Salary: " << p.salary;
}

36. Accessing Structures with Pointers
• Pointer variables can be used to point to structure
type variables too.
• The pointer variable should be of same type, for
example: structure type
struct Rectangle {
int width;
int height;
};
void main( )
{
Rectangle rect1={22,33};
Rectangle* rect1Ptr = &rect1;
}

37. Accessing Structures with Pointers
• How to access the structure members (using
pointer)?
– Use dereferencing operator (*) with dot (.) operator
struct Rectangle {
int width;
int height;
};
void main( )
{
Rectangle rect1={22,33};
Rectangle* rectPtr = &rect1;
cout<< (*rectPrt).width<<(*rectPrt).height;
}

38. Accessing Structures with Pointers
• Is there some easier way also?
– Use arrow operator ( -> )
struct Rectangle {
int width;
int height;
};
void main( )
{
Rectangle rect1={22,33};
Rectangle* rectPtr = &rect1;
cout<< rectPrt->width<<rectPrt->height;
}
