Great job learning about structures! We’ve covered many important topics:
- Structures allow you to create user-defined data types
- Structures can package together other data types into one type
- You can define a structure using the
struct
keyword - When defining a structure, the member variables are declared but not instantiated
- Structures help programs work with complex data and can represent real-world objects
- You can access member variables with the dot operator
- You can have a pointer to a structure and access its member variables using the arrow operator
- You can pass structures and structure pointers to functions
- You can return structures from functions
With our understanding of structures, we can now create and work with complicated data types easily and efficiently.
