Study Notes
Structure in C++ Programming
- A structure is a collection of variables of different data types that are stored together in memory, allowing for efficient use of memory and simplified programming.
Purpose of Using a Structure
- The primary purpose of using a structure is to organize and group related variables together, making it easier to manipulate and access the data.
- Structures enable the creation of complex data types, allowing for a more efficient and organized representation of real-world objects and scenarios.
Defining a Structure Variable
- A structure variable is defined using the
structkeyword, followed by the structure name and the variables it contains, enclosed in curly braces{}. - The structure definition is typically followed by a semicolon
;.
Accessing Structure Members
- Members of a structure variable are accessed using the dot notation, where the structure variable name is followed by a dot
.and the member variable name. - For example,
structVariable.memberVariablewould access thememberVariablewithin thestructVariable.
Memory Allocation for a Structure Variable
- Memory allocation for a structure variable occurs when the structure is defined, and the compiler reserves a contiguous block of memory to store all the member variables.
- The memory size allocated is equivalent to the sum of the sizes of all the member variables.
