What are structures?

[Guest]

Structure is a heterogeneous collection of elements referenced by the same name. A structure is declared using the struct keyword. The following is an example that creates a structure to store an employee's information:

struct emp { fixed int empID[15]; fixed char name[30]; fixed char addr[50]; fixed char dept[15]; fixed char desig[15]; }

The preceding example defines a structure emp and the members of this structure specify the information of an employee.
