Array of Structures

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.

Two ways to declare array of structure,

Method 1

struct student
{
char name[20];
int roll_no;
float marks;
}arr_student[2];

Method 2

struct student
{
char name[20];
int roll_no;
float marks;
};
stuct student arr_student[2];

Example: Displaying student information using array of structures

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
#define MAX 2
struct student
{
    char name[20];
    int roll_no;
    float marks;
};

int main()
{
    struct student arr_student[MAX];
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < MAX; i++ )
    {
        printf("\nEnter details of student %d\n\n", i+1);

        printf("Enter name: ");
        scanf("%s", arr_student[i].name);

        printf("Enter roll no: ");
        scanf("%d", &arr_student[i].roll_no);

        printf("Enter marks: ");
        scanf("%f", &arr_student[i].marks);
    }

    printf("\n");

    printf("Name\tRoll no\tMarks\n");

    for(i = 0; i < MAX; i++ )
    {
        printf("%s\t%d\t%.2f\n",
        arr_student[i].name, arr_student[i].roll_no, arr_student[i].marks);
    }
    return 0;
}

Output

C:\TDM-GCC-64>gcc 4array_Struct1.c -o 4as
C:\TDM-GCC-64>4as
Enter details of student 1
Enter name: ABC
Enter roll no: 101
Enter marks: 90
Enter details of student 2
Enter name: QWE
Enter roll no: 202
Enter marks: 90
Name    Roll no Marks
ABC     101     90.00
QWE     202     90.00

Example: Displaying coordinates of 6 points using array of structures

#include<stdio.h>
struct point
{
	int x;
	int y;
}p[6];
int main()
{
	int i;
	for (i=0;i<6;i++)
	{
		printf("Enter the value of object %d",i);
		scanf("%d%d",&p[i].x,&p[i].y);
	}
	printf("object_no \t x \t y \n");
	for (i=0;i<6;i++)
	{
		printf("%d ",i);
		printf("%d\t%d",p[i].x,p[i].y);
		printf("\n");
	}	
}

Output

C:\TDM-GCC-64>gcc 4_array_St.c -o 4ast
C:\TDM-GCC-64>4ast
Enter the value of object 0 3

Enter the value of object 1 5

Enter the value of object 2 8

Enter the value of object 3 1

Enter the value of object 4 4

Enter the value of object 5 8

Example: Displaying employee information using array of structures

#include<stdio.h>
struct employee
{
	char name[10];
	int no;
	int bpay,hra,da,cca,pf;
	float npay,gpay;
	int date,month,year;
}e[10];
int main()
{
	int i,n,eno,flag = -1;
	printf("Enter number of employees\n");			
	scanf("%d",&n);
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
	{
		printf("Enter employee number:\n");
		scanf("%d",&e[i].no);
		printf("Enter name:\n");
		scanf("%s",e[i].name);
		printf("Enter date of joining");
		scanf("%d%d%d",&e[i].date,&e[i].month,&e[i].year);
		printf("Enter bpay,hra,da,cca,pf\n");
		scanf("%d%d%d%d%d",&e[i].bpay,&e[i].hra,&e[i].da,&e[i].cca,&e[i].pf);
		e[i].gpay =e[i].bpay+(e[i].bpay*e[i].da)/100+(e[i].bpay*e[i].hra)/100+(e[i].bpay*e[i].cca)/100;
		e[i].npay=e[i].gpay-(e[i].bpay*e[i].pf)/100;
	}
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
	{
		printf("Employee number:%d\n",e[i].no);
		printf("Name: %s \n",e[i].name);
		printf("Date of Joining:%d-%d-%d\n",e[i].date,e[i].month,e[i].year);
		printf("Basic Pay:%d\n",e[i].bpay);
		printf("DA:%d\n",e[i].da);
		printf("HRA:%d\n",e[i].hra);
		printf("CCA:%d\n",e[i].cca);
		printf("PF:%d\n",e[i].pf);
		printf("Gross pay:%f\n",e[i].gpay);
		printf("Net pay:%f\n",e[i].npay);
	}
	//Searching
	printf("Enter employee number to search\n");
	scanf("%d",&eno);
	for(i=0;i<n;i++)
	{
		if(eno == e[i].no)
		{
			flag = 1;
			break;
		}	
	}
	if(flag == 1)
	{
		printf("Employee details are present\n");
		printf("Employee number:%d\n",e[i].no);
		printf("Name: %s \n",e[i].name);
		printf("Date of Joining:%d-%d-%d\n",e[i].date,e[i].month,e[i].year);
		printf("Basic Pay:%d\n",e[i].bpay);
		printf("DA:%d\n",e[i].da);
		printf("HRA:%d\n",e[i].hra);
		printf("CCA:%d\n",e[i].cca);
		printf("PF:%d\n",e[i].pf);
		printf("Gross pay:%f\n",e[i].gpay);
		printf("Net pay:%f\n",e[i].npay);
	}
	else
	{
		printf("No such employee");
	}
	return 0;
}
