Using structures, write a simple declaration for students in a university.
Source Code
Brief explanation is provided after the source code.
#include
typedef struct {
char *mat_no[8];
char *first_name[45];
char *last_name[45];
char *email[45];
char *phone_number[9];
char *fac[3];
char *dept[4];
int level;
} STUDENT;
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
STUDENT stud;
printf("Mat Number: "); scanf("%s", stud.mat_no);
printf("\nFirst Name: "); scanf("%s", stud.first_name);
printf("\nLast Name: "); scanf("%s", stud.last_name);
printf("\nEmail: "); scanf("%s", stud.email);
printf("\nPhone Number: "); scanf("%s", stud.phone_number);
printf("\nFaculty: "); scanf("%s", stud.fac);
printf("\nDepartment: "); scanf("%s", stud.dept);
printf("\nLevel: "); scanf("%d", &stud.level);
printf("\n");
printf("Mat Number: "); printf("%s", stud.mat_no);
printf("\nFirst Name: "); printf("%s", stud.first_name);
printf("\nLast Name: "); printf("%s", stud.last_name);
printf("\nEmail: "); printf("%s", stud.email);
printf("\nPhone Number: "); printf("%s", stud.phone_number);
printf("\nFaculty: "); printf("%s", stud.fac);
printf("\nDepartment: "); printf("%s", stud.dept);
printf("\nLevel: "); printf("%d\n", stud.level);
return 0;
}
When you compile and execute the above program it produces the following result on Linux:
Mat Number: FE10A058 First Name: FOKWA Last Name: DIVINE Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Phone Number: 6XXXXXXXX Faculty: FET Department: CENG Level: 4 Mat Number: FE10A058 First Name: FOKWA Last Name: DIVINE Email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. Phone Number: 6XXXXXXXX Faculty: FET Department: CENG Level: 4
Brief Explanation
- A structure in C is a collection of one or more variables, possibly of different types, grouped together under a single name for convenient handling.
- Using typedef, STUDENT is created as a synonym for the structure.
- A variable stud of type STUDENT (the structure) is defined.
- scanf function reads data from input and assign to the fields define in the structure.
- Using printf function, the inputted data is displayed to the stdout screen.
