Description
Use a struct to group variables into a single record.
<struct type name> An optional tag name that refers to the structure type.
<structure variables> The data definitions, also optional.
Though both <struct type name> and <structure variables> are optional, one of the two must appear.
You define elements in the record by naming a <type>, followed by one or more <variable-name> (separated by commas).
Separate different variable types by a semicolon.
Use the . operator, or the -> operator to access elements in a structure.
To declare additional variables of the same type, use the keyword struct followed by the <struct type name>, followed by the variable names. In C++ the keyword struct can be omitted.
Note: The compiler allows the use of anonymous struct embedded within another structure.
