C++: Referencing Structure Elements

Referencing Structure Elements

Once the two objects of student structure type are declared (balu and frank),their members can be accessed directly. The syntax for that is using a dot (.) between the object name and the member name. For example, the elements of the structure Student can be accessed as follows:

balu.rollno

balu.age

balu.weight

frank.rollno

frank.age

frank.weight

If the members are a pointer types then ‘→’ is used to access the members. Let name is a character pointer ins student like char * name It can be accessed student → name

(Anonymous Structure Vs Named Structure)

A structure without a name/tag is called anonymous structure.

struct

{

long rollno;

      int age;

      float weight;

} student;

The student can be referred as reference name to the above structure and the elements can be accessed like student.rollno, student.age and student.weight .
