Array of Structure : C Programming

Array of Structure :

Structure is used to store the information of One particular object but if we need to store such 100 objects then Array of Structure is used.

Example :

struct Bookinfo
{
      char[20] bname;
      int pages;
      int price;
}Book[100];

Explanation :

1. Here Book structure is used to Store the information of one Book.
2. In case if we need to store the Information of 100 books then Array of Structure is used.
3. b1[0] stores the Information of 1st Book , b1[1] stores the information of 2nd Book and So on We can store the information of 100 books.

book[3] is shown Below

Accessing Pages field of Second Book :

Book[1].pages

Live Example :

#include <stdio.h>
struct Bookinfo
{
      char[20] bname;
      int pages;
      int price;
}book[3];
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int i;
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
    printf("\nEnter the Name of Book    : ");
    gets(book[i].bname);
    printf("\nEnter the Number of Pages : ");
    scanf("%d",book[i].pages);
    printf("\nEnter the Price of Book   : ");
    scanf("%f",book[i].price);
    }
printf("\n--------- Book Details ------------ ");
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
    {
    printf("\nName of Book    : %s",book[i].bname);
    printf("\nNumber of Pages : %d",book[i].pages);
    printf("\nPrice of Book   : %f",book[i].price);
    }
return 0;
}

Output of the Structure Example:

Enter the Name of Book    : ABC
Enter the Number of Pages : 100
Enter the Price of Book   : 200
Enter the Name of Book    : EFG
Enter the Number of Pages : 200
Enter the Price of Book   : 300
Enter the Name of Book    : HIJ
Enter the Number of Pages : 300
Enter the Price of Book   : 500
--------- Book Details ------------
Name of Book    : ABC
Number of Pages : 100
Price of Book   : 200
Name of Book    : EFG
Number of Pages : 200
Price of Book   : 300
Name of Book    : HIJ
Number of Pages : 300
Price of Book   : 500
