An In-Depth Understanding of Memory and Pointers in C

Arrays of Structures

Explore how to create and manage arrays of structures in C by building a bookstore example. Learn to define complex structures, access their members, and handle fixed-size arrays to organize multiple data records efficiently. Understand the limitation of static arrays and prepare for dynamic memory allocation in future lessons.

We'll cover the following...

Introduction

Let’s extend the previous book example by adding the structure for a bookstore. A bookstore contains information such as an address, start and end hours, a list of books, and the number of books inside the store.

Recall that we define a book as follows:

typedef struct
