Introduction

In C, structs allows us to package together multiple values into a single entity. In this chapter we will look at how to define, instantiate, access and use structs in our programs

Learning Outcomes

After completing this chapter, students will be able to:

1. Define structs using proper C syntax and understand that struct definitions create a template without allocating memory
2. Instantiate struct variables and explain how struct instances reserve memory for all data members
3. Initialize structs using curly bracket notation to initialize data members based on the order the data members are defined.
4. Access struct data members using dot operator and explain how the dot operator provides access to individual fields
5. Organize related data by grouping variables of different types into a single struct to improve code clarity and maintainability
