Hi All,

Just started doing C programming recently. I will be glad if anyone can help me out with my problem.

I have structure named PERSON. Inside this I have Name and Age.
I have another Structure called SCHOOL which has Location and Year.

Now I want to point to this struct called SCHOOL from inside of the struct PERSON and use its members. How do I do it??

Please give me some hint on this ASAP.

Thank You.
 

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "string.h"

struct school
{
char location[10];
int year;
};

struct person
{
char name[10]; // Member1
int age; // member2
struct school s1; // member 3 which is a struct(school) declared inside
};

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
struct person p; // Struct person variable declared here
p.s1.year=1998; // Member initialised here
strcpy(p.s1.location, "INDIA"); // Member initialised here
printf("\n %s %d", p.s1.location, p.s1.year);
return 0;
}
 

for that you have to declare a variable of structure school into person by that you can use its member
such as
struct school
{
// code
}

struct person
{
//some code
struct school s;
}
