Everything about Struct (C programming language)

C keyword for defining a structured data type

In the C programming language, struct is the keyword used to define a composite, a.k.a. record, data type – a named set of values that occupy a block of memory. It allows for the different values to be accessed via a single identifier, often a pointer. A struct can contain other data types, so it is used for mixed-data-type records. For example, a bank customer struct might contain fields for the customer's name, address, telephone number, and balance. Wikipedia →
