Structs: Define a struct array
Structs: Define a struct array
Create an array of students called Friends, that should contain Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger. Go through this array and print everyone's name separaqted by newline!
Hint: As it was mentioned struct Student is a type, so you can easily create an array of it. E.g.:
struct Student Friends[3]; will create an array of 3 students. As with other types, the initialization is not done, so you need to initialize every element befor use. However you can do it more simple:
struct Student Friends[3]={{"Harry Potter",12,55...},{"Ronald Weasly"...},{...}} like in the solution.
Solution
#include
struct Student {
char name[100];//Max. 99 chars for a name!
int age;
float magic_attack;
float magic_defense, cleverness;
char house[30]; //will be enum soon
};
int main() {
struct Student Friends[3]={{"Harry Potter",12,55,70,35,"Griffindor"},{"Ronald Weasley",12,57,40,55,"Griffindor"},{"Hermione Granger",13,51,60,75,"Griffindor"}};
for(int i=0;i<3;i++){
printf("%s\n",Friends[i].name);
}
return 0;
}
Explanation
The funny thing that in this way the struct student variables has no name, they exists only in the array! Otherwise the program defines an array of Students with 3 elements Initializes We go through in the array and print out the names. In the next example we will use the typeset and enum to be more readable
