3. Structure

Combine variables into a single package called a structure.

Structures are declared by using the struct keyword.

struct sampleName
{
    int a;
    char b;
}

1. This structure is named sampleName.
2. It contains two variables: an integer named a and a character named b.
3. The above command only creates the structure.(it doesn't declare any variables.)

The following line declares a structure variable named s1.

struct sample s1;

Items within the structure are referred to by using dot notation.

printf("Character 1 is %s\n",g1.name);
