An example using structs in a C program
#include <stdio.h>
/* User defined types */
enum deptcode {sales,personnel,packing,engineering};
typedef enum deptcode DEPT;
struct person {
int age, salary;
DEPT department;
char name[12];
char address[6][20];
};
typedef struct person EMPLOYEE;
void read_line(char Str[]) {
int i = 0; char next;
while ((next=getchar())!='\n') {
Str[i] = next;
i++;
}
Str[i] = 0; /* Set the null char at the end */
}
void print_employee(EMPLOYEE Emp) {
int i;
printf(" %d %d %d\n",Emp.age,Emp.salary,Emp.department);
printf("%s\n",Emp.name);
for (i=0;i<=5;i++) printf("%s\n",Emp.address[i]);
}
void main () {
EMPLOYEE This_Employee;
int i;
scanf("%d",&This_Employee.age);
scanf("%d",&This_Employee.salary);
scanf("%d\n",&This_Employee.department);
read_line(This_Employee.name);
for (i=0; i<=5; i++) read_line(This_Employee.address[i]);
print_employee(This_Employee);
}
