C++ Arrays and Structures: Points to Remember

Points to Remember:

Structure is a user-defined which has the combination of data items with different data types

Structure is declared using the keyword ‘struct’

Structure elements are referenced using its object name followed by dot(.) operator and then the member name

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

The structure elements can be initialized either by using separate assignment statements or at the time of declaration by surrounding its values with braces.

A structure object can also be assigned to another structure object only if both the objects are of same structure type.

The structure declared within another structure is called a nested structure

A structure can contain array as its member element.

Array of structure variable can also be created.

Structures can be passed to a function either by call by value method or by call by reference method .Functions can also return structures or its references
