Declaring and Defining Structures

Explore how to declare and define structures in C programming, including separate and combined methods. Understand how memory is allocated for structure variables and learn practical ways to initialize string and numeric members effectively.

We'll cover the following...

Declaring and defining structures

Method 1

If the declaration and definition are separate, we cannot drop the structure name.

See the code given below!

C
#include<stdio.h>



// Method 1: We cannot drop the structure name

// Employee declaration

struct employee 

{

	char n[ 20 ] ;

}

When we declare the data type, struct employee, no ...
