Presentation on Structure

Structure

• Structure - It is a collection of variables referenced under one name.

The keyword struct tells the compiler that a structure is being defined

Syntax : struct name of structure { data members / members of isotopes }Example: struct date { short day; short month ; short year; } ;

The date is a structure tag and it identifies this particular data structure and its type specifie . After the above definition no structure variable has been declared ,that is , no memory space has been reserved .only the form of data has been defined . to declare structure variable having data form as defined by date,

date joining_date This declares a structure variable joining_date of type date.thus the complete structure definition is as follows .

struct date { short day; short month; short year; }; date joinin_date

The structure joining date will be having its element as day, month and year. The C++ compiler automatically

allocates sufficient memory to accommodate the entire element variable that makes up a structure variable

These two separate structure statements can be joined

also struct date { short day;

short month; short year;

} joining_date ;The above statement defines a structure type called date and declares a structure variable joining_date

Referencing structure element

Once a structure variable has been defined, its members can be accessed through the use of

(.) dot operator for example the following code assign 1740 to the year element of birth_date structure element declared earlier : birth_date . year = 1740 ;

The structure variable name followed by a period (.) and the element name references to that individual structure element. The syntax for accessing a structure element is

structure -name. element-name The structure member are treated just like other variable. Therefore, to print

the year of birth_date and can be written as cout <<birth_date .yera ; In the same way to read day ,month and year of joining_date we can write Cin>>joining_date.day>>joining_date .month >>joining_date .year;

Initializing structure elements

The structure element of a structure can be initialized either separately, using separate assignment statement or jointly, using the notations similar to array initialization for instance,

Solution:

Struct stutype { short roll ; senior_student .rollno =01 ; short class; senior_student.class = 12 ; float marks; senior_studnet.marks =50.00 ; char grade; senior_student.grade= ‘A’ ;

} senior_student, junior_student :

Alternatively, the structure senior_student can be initialized by using the notation used for array initialization,

Stutype_senior_student = {01, 12, 50.00, ‘A’} ;The second method of structure initialization

defined above, can be used only when the structure variable is defined. It cannot be used before the structure variables have been defined.

In the above given statement stutype is the type specifier for senior_student and the structure senior_student is being declared and initialized simultaneously

Structure Assignments

Object of structure types can be assigned, passed as function arguments and returned as the result from a function. As can be seen in the following statement one structure variable can be assigned to another :

Junior_student = senior_student ; With this statement, the value of each member of

senior_student is assigned to the corresponding member of junior_student.

One structure variable can be assigned to another only when they are of the same structure type. If you try to assign a variable of one structure type to variable of another type, the complier will report an error. For instance, the following assignment is wrong.

Junior _student = date ;

Two structure types are different even when they have the same type of members. For example:

Struct one { int a ; } ;

Struct two { int a ; } ;

one S1 ;two S2 ;cin >> S1. a ; //read S1s2 =S1 ; //error : type mismatch

The above code fragment will produce an error because S1 and S2, through have similar elements but are of different types one and two respectively , and hence, they cannot be assigned to one another.

Only assignment (=) is possible for two similar structures. Other operations, such as comparisons (===and!=) are not defined for similar structures.

A structure may be local (to a function), if defined within a function. That is no function other than the one which defines it can access it (the structure). A structure may be global (to all functions within a program) if defined outside all functions. That is any function can then access it.

Nested Structure

A Structure element may be either complex or simple. The simple elements are any of the fundamental date types of C++ i.e int char, float, double. However, a structure may consist of an element tht itself is complex i.e, it is made up of fundamental types, e.g., arrays structures etc. A structure consisting of such complex element is called a complex structure.A structure can be nested inside another structure. Following code fragment illustrates it:

Struct addr // styructure tag{ int houseno ;

char area [26] ; char city [26] ; char state [26] ; } ;

Struct emp //structure tag{ int empno ; char name [26] ; char design [16] ;

addr address ; float basic ;} ;

Emp workwer ; // create structure variable

The structure emp has been defined having several element including a structure address also. The element address (of structure emp) is structure of type addr. While defining such structures, just make sure that inner structures are defined before outer structures.

Accessing Nested Structure Members

The members of structures are accessed using dot operator. To access the city member of address structure which is an element of another structure worker, we shall write

Worker. Address. City To initialize houseno member of address structure,

element of worker structure, we can write as follow: Worker. Address. Houseno =1694 As you can see, the elements of each structure are

referenced from outermost to innermost. Following example program reads values into such a nested structure:

PROGRAM 13.1 Program to read values into a nested structure. #include<iostream.h> #include<conio.h> #include<stdio.h> Struct addr { int houseno ; Char area [26] ; Char city [26] ; Char state [26] ; } ; Struct emp { int empo ; Char name [26] ; Char design [16] ; addr address ; float basic ; } worker ; int main ( ) { Clrscr ( ) ; Cout << “\n” << “ Enter Employee no : “ << “\n” ; Cin >> worker. empno : Cout << “\ n “ << “Name : “ ; gets (worker.name) : // to read white spaces also as ‘ >> ‘ can ‘t read them cout << “\n “ << “ Designation :” ; gets ( worker. design) ;

cout << “\n” << “ Enter address :\n” ; cout << “ House no :” ; cin >> worker. address. houseno ; cout << “\n” << “ Area :” ; gets ( worker. address. area) ; cout << ‘\n” << “ City : “ ; gets (worker. address. city) ; cout <, “\n “ <, “ state : “ ; gets (worker. address. state) ; cout << “\n “ <, “ Basic Pay : “ ; cin >. Worker. basic ; return 0 ; } // end of main ( ) O/PEnter Employee no : 103Name :NeelDesignation : ManagerEnter address : House no :321Area : Sadiq. NagarCity :DelhiState : DelhiBasic Pay : 9800

STRUCTURES AND ARRAYS

While arrays are collections of analogous elements, structures assemble dissimilar elements under one roof. Thus both the array and the structure allow several values to be treated together as a single data object.

The arrays and structures can b e combined together to form complex data objects. There may be structures contained within an array: also there may be an array as an element of a structure. Let us discuss various combinations of arrays and structures.

•

Arrays of Structures

Array can contain similar elements; the combination having structures within an array is an array of structures. To declare an array of structures, first define a structure and then declare an array variable of that type.

PROGRAM 2 Program to store information of 10 employees and to display information of an employee depending

upon the employee no given. #include<iostream.h> #include<conio.h> // for clrscr ( ) #include<stdio.h> // for gets ( ) Struct addr // global definition { int houseno ; char area [26] ; char city [26] ; char starte [26] ; } ; Struct emp { int empo ; Char name [26] ; Addr address ; // another structure

Float basic ;} worker ; emp sales_emp[10] ; void display (int a) ; // creates array of structures of emp type void enter (void ) ; // prototypes declared int main ( ) { Clrscr ( ) ; int eno, I ; char ch ; enter ( ) ; // to read in information into the array do { Cout << “\n” << Enter employee no. whose information” << “ is to be displayed : “ << “\n” ; Cin >> eno ; //Ioop to find the given employee no int flag = 0 ; for ( I = 0 ; I < 10 ; ++i) { if ( sales_emp [i ]. Empno == eno) // if found then { display (i) ; flag = 1 ; break ; } }

if ( !flag) { cout <, “\n” << “ Sorry! No such employee exists.” << “\n” ; } Cout <, “\n” << “ Display more ? (y/n).. “ << “\n ; Cin >> ch ; } while ( ch == ‘y’ ) ; return 0 ; } Void enter (void){ for (int I = 0 ; I < 10 ; i++) Cout << “\n” <, Employee No : “ : Cin >> sales_emp[ i ]. Empno ; Cout << “\n “ << “Employee Name : “ ; gets ( sales_emp [ I ] . name ) ;

cout << “\n” << “Designation : “ ; gets ( sales_emp [ i ]. design) ; cout << “\n” << “Address : “ ; cout << “ House no : “ ; cin >. Sales_emp [ i ]. address. houseno ; cout << “\nArea : “ ; gets ( sales_emp [ i ]. Address. area) ; cout << “\ncity :” ; gets ( sales_emp[ i ]. Address. city) ; cout << “\n State : “ ; gets (sales_emp [ i ]. Address. state) ; cout < “\n” <, “Basic pay :” ; cin >> sales_emp [ i ]. Basic ; cout << “\n” ; } return ;

Write ( sales_emp [ a ]. address. area, 26) ; Cout . write ( sales_emp[ a ] . address . city , 26 ) ; Cout . write ( sales_emp [a ]. address. state, 26) ; Cout << “\n” << “Basic pay :” << sales_emp [ a ]. basic ; Cout << “\n” ; return ;}

Arrays within Structures A structure element may be either simple or complex. A complex structure may itself be a structure or an array. When a structure element happens to be an array, it is treated in the same way as arrays are treated. The only additional thing is that to access it, its structure name followed by dot (.) and the array name is too given. For example, consider this structure: Struct student { int rollno ; char name [ 21] ; float marks [ 5 ] ; } ; Student learner ; Structure variable learner is of structure type student that contains an element which is an array of 5 floats to store marks of a student in 5 different subjects. Marks of 3rd subject of structure learner, we shall write

Struct type { int x [ 5 ] [ 5 ] ; Float y ; } svar ; To reference integer 2,4 in x of structure svar, we shall write

PROGRAME 3 Program to accept and print a student’s result using a structure having array inside it. #include<ioxtream. h> # include < stdio. H> Struct student { int rollno ; char name [ 21 ] ; float marks [ 5 ] ;

char grade ;} ;Student learner ; Void main ( ) // structure variable declared{ // read in student data Cout <, “\n” <, Enter Roll no : “ ; Cin >> learner. Rollno ; Cout << “\n” << “ Enter Name :” ; gets ( learner. name) ; cout << “\n” << “Enter marks in 5 subjects :” << “\n” ; for(int I = 0 ; I < 5 ; i++) { Cout << “\n” << “subject” << I + 1 << “:” ; Cin >> learner. marks [ i ] ; } // Determine grade Float avg, total ;Totlal = ( learner. marks [ 0 ] + learner. marks [2] +learner. marks [2] + learner. marks [3] + learner. marks [4] ) ;

Avg = total / 5 ;If ( avg<50) learner. grade = ‘F’ ;else if ( avg<60) learner. grade = ‘c’ ;else if ( avg<80) learner. grade = ‘B’ ; else learnerd. Grade= ‘A’ ; //Print result Cout << “\n” << “\n” <, “student Result :” << “\n ;Cout << “ Roll no :” << learner. rollno << “\t” ;Cout << “Name:” ;Cout. Write (learner. name, 21);Cout << “\n” << “Total Marks:” <, total;Cout << “\t” << “Grade:” <<learner.grade<<endl ;} //end of main ( )

Passing structure to Function

Call -by -value : when a structure is used as an argument to a function ,the entire structure is passed using the standard call -by- value method. This means any changes that any changes made to the contents of the structure inside the function to which it is passed do not affect the structure used as an argument. Program 4 Program to illustrate passing of structure by value.#include <iostream.h>#include<conio.h>Struct distance{ int feet ; int inches;};

Void main( ){ clrscr ( ); distance length1 , length2 ; void prnsum(distance l1 ,distance l2) ;cout<<”Enter length 1 :”<<”\n”;cout<<”feet: ” ;cin>>length.feet ;cout<< “\n”<<” Inches :” ;cin>>length1. Inches ;cout<<”\n \n Entre length2 :”<<”\n” :cout<<”feet: “ ;cin>>length2.feet ;cout<<”\n” << “inches :” ;prnsum (lngth1, length2) ;return 0;}

void prnsum (distance l1 ,distance l2) { distance l3 ; l3.feet = l1.feet+ l2.feet+(l1.inches +l2 .inches)/12;l3.feet =(l1.inches +l2.inches) % 12;cout<<”\n \n Total feet :” <<l3. feet <<”\n’’;cout<<”totalinches :” <<l3.inches ;getch( );} O/PEnter length 1: Feet: 6Enter length 2:Feet: 4Inches: 5 Total Feet: 10Total inches: 9

Call- by- reference : when a structure is passed by reference the called function declares a reference for the passed structure and refers to the original structure elements through its reference. Thus the called function works with original values. For e.g.Program 5 #Include<iostream.h>#include<conio.h> Struct distance { int feet ; Int inches ;} ;void main ( ) { classcr ( ) ;

Distance lengthl, length2 ; Void prnsum (distance & l1, distance &l2 ) cout << “enter lrnhyh 1 : ” << “\n” ; cin >> length 1. feet ; cout <<”\n”<< “Inches :” ; cin>>length1.inches ; cout<<”\n \n Enter length2 :”<<”\n” ; cout<<”feet:” ; cin>>length2.feet ; cout<<”\n”<<”inches :”; cin>>length2 .inches ; prnsum (length1 ,length2) getch( );}Void prnsum (distance&.l1,distance& l2){ distance l3 ; l3.feet = l1.feet+ l2.feet+(l1.inches +l2 .inches)/12;l3.feet =(l1.inches +l2.inches) % 12;cout<<”\n \n Total feet :” <<l3. feet <<”\n’’;cout<<”Total inches :” <<l3.inches ;getch( );}

O/PEnter length1: Feet: 3Inches: 11Enter length2:Feet: 4Inches: 5 Total feet: 8Total inches: 4 # Defines preprocessor directivePreprocessor is a program that is executed before the source code is compiled.The # defines preprocessor allows us to define symbolic names and constant e.g.# include<conio.h>#define PI 3.14159void main ( ){ int r = 10 ; float cir ; cir = PI* (r * r) ; cout<<”Area of a circle “ <<cir<<endl ;}

Macros

Macros are built on the #define preprocessor.

A # define preprocessor would look like : #define PI 3.142 But macro would be look like this: # define SQUARE(X) X*X The main difference is that the first example is a symbolic constant and the second is an expression as

#include<iostream.h> #define SQUARE (X) X*X void main ( ) { int value = 3 ; cout<< SOUARE (value) ; } After processing the code will become: void main( ) { int value = 3; Cout<< value *value ; }

• A macros without arguments is treated like a symbolic constant.• A macros with argument has its arguments substituted for replacement text, when the macro is expended.• A macro substitutes text only ;it does not check for data type

Program 6Program to display labels of information stored in a structure.# include<iostream.h># include<stdio.h>#include<string. h>#include<iomanip.h ># define maxlabel 8struct person{ char title[15] ; char firstname [15]; char lastname[15]; char address1[30]; char address2 [25]; char city [25]; char state[25]; long pin ;} ;Void main( ){ person labels[30] ;

Int lab_per_page; For( int i= 0 ; i<30 ;i++) { cout<<”\nEnter informationfor person’<<i+1<<’’:’’<< endl ; cout<<”title(Mr/Mrs) : ‘’; cin>>labels[i]. firstname; cout<<’’lastname:’’ ; cin>>labels[i].lastname ; cout<<” house no, street:” ; ets(labels[i]. address1) ; cout<<’ area : “ ; gets (labels[i] .adderess2) ; cout<<”city :” ; cout<<”state :” ; gets(labels[i. state) ; cout<< “pins : “ ; cin>> labels[i].pin ;}
