Structures and Functions in c++

Structures and Functions in c++

 n this article, you'll find relevant examples to pass structures as an argument to a function, and use them in your program.

 Structure variables can be passed to a function and returned in a similar way as normal arguments.

Passing structure to function in C++

A structure variable can be passed to a function in similar way as normal argument. Consider this example:

Example 1: C++ Structure and Function


  1. #include <iostream>
  2. using namespace std;
  4. struct Person
  5. {
  6. char name[50];
  7. int age;
  8. float salary;
  9. };
  11. void displayData(Person); // Function declaration
  13. int main()
  14. {
  15. Person p;
  17. cout << "Enter Full name: ";
  18. cin.get(p.name, 50);
  19. cout << "Enter age: ";
  20. cin >> p.age;
  21. cout << "Enter salary: ";
  22. cin >> p.salary;
  24. // Function call with structure variable as an argument
  25. displayData(p);
  27. return 0;
  28. }
  30. void displayData(Person p)
  31. {
  32. cout << "\nDisplaying Information." << endl;
  33. cout << "Name: " << p.name << endl;
  34. cout <<"Age: " << p.age << endl;
  35. cout << "Salary: " << p.salary;
  36. }

Output
Enter Full name: Bill Jobs
Enter age: 55
Enter salary: 34233.4

Displaying Information.
Name: Bill Jobs
Age: 55
Salary: 34233.4

Structures in C++

Structures A  data structure  is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as  members , can have different types and different lengths. For example:  You want to store some information about a person: his/her name, citizenship number and salary. You can easily create different variables  name, citNo, salary  to store these information separately. However, in the future, you would want to store information about multiple persons. Now, you'd need to create different variables for each information per person:  name1, citNo1, salary1, name2, citNo2, salary2 You can easily visualize how big and messy the code would look. Also, since no relation between the variables (information) would exist, it's going to be a daunting task. A better approach will be to have a collection of all related information under a single name  Person , and use it for every person. Now, the code looks much cleaner, readable...

C++ Program to Store and Display Information Using Structure

Image
C++ Program to Store and Display Information Using Structure By Simple Method This program stores the information (name, fname id and course ). In this program, a structure,  student  is created. This structure has three members:  name  (char),  fname  (char) and  id  (int ) and course (char ). #include<iostream> using namespace std; // declaring the strct struct Student{ int id; char name[10]; char fname[10]; char course[10]; }; int mian() { //create the struct type object Student s1; //get student info cout<<"Enter Your Name "<<endl; cin>>s1.name; cout<<"Enter Your Id "<<endl; cin>>s1.id; cout<<"Enter Your Father Name "<<endl; cin>>s1.fname; cout<<"Enter Your Course Title"<<endl; cin>>s1.course; //display student info cout<<"Your Name is"<<s1.name; cout<<"Your Id is"<<s1.id; cout...

C++ Program to Add Complex Numbers by Passing Structure to a Function

Add Complex Numbers by Passing Structure to a Function This program takes two complex numbers as structures and adds them with the use of functions. Example: Source Code to Add Two Complex Numbers // Complex numbers are entered by the user #include <iostream> using namespace std ; typedef struct complex { float real ; float imag ; } complexNumber ; complexNumber addComplexNumbers ( complex , complex ); int main () { complexNumber n1 , n2 , temporaryNumber ; char signOfImag ; cout << "For 1st complex number," << endl ; cout << "Enter real and imaginary parts respectively:" << endl ; cin >> n1 . real >> n1 . imag ; cout << endl << "For 2nd complex number," << endl ; cout << "Enter real and imaginary parts respectively:" << endl ; cin >> n2 . real >> n2 . imag ; ...
