Demonstration of new data types using structures
What is a structure?
A structure is a user defined data type in C/C++. A structure creates a data type that can be used to group items of possibly different types into a single type.
How to create a structure?
‘struct’ keyword is used to create a structure. Following is an example.
the below example demonstrates the creation of new data type point which can store coordinates :
for using the above structure we need to use structure_name (.) member access operator followed by a member name of defined structure.

How to create a structure?
‘struct’ keyword is used to create a structure. Following is an example.
the below example demonstrates the creation of new data type point which can store coordinates :
// A variable declaration with structure declaration.
struct Point
{
int x, y;
} p1; // The variable p1 is declared with 'Point'
for using the above structure we need to use structure_name (.) member access operator followed by a member name of defined structure.
int main()
{
// A valid initialization. member x gets value 0 and y
// gets value 1. The order of declaration is followed.
struct Point p1 = {0, 1};
cout<<"value of x="<<p1.x<<"value of y="<<p1.y;
}
