hiii

i have some code with structure, enum, fun plz tell me the flow of code
for understanding structure and like other stuff.
Code:
enum A_MODE{
	A = 0,
	B,
        C,
        D,
        E,	 
 };


typedef struct _a_mode
{
	unsigned int sen;
	unsigned int state;
	unsigned int last ;
	unsigned int thick;
	unsigned int count;
	unsigned int status;
} A_MODE;

A_MODE a_modes[MAX];


int Execute(void)
{
 (i am including only some part of this fun. )
	case BILL_PICKING:
				switch (a_mode[slot].sen)
				{
				case CASSETTE_A:
					sensor = SENSOR_A;
					break;

				case CASSETTE_B:
					sensor = SENSOR_B;
					break;
				}
				if (sensor)
				{
					 
					a_modes[slot].state = B;
					a_modes[slot].last= TimingCount;
				}
                                else
                                {}
                               }
}

enum A_MODE{
A = 0,
B,
C,
D,
E,
};
This is a definition for an enum template called "A_MODE". This enum has five values; A,B,C,D,E. The numerical value of A is 0, numerical value of B is 1 and so on.

typedef struct _a_mode
{
unsigned int sen;
unsigned int state;
unsigned int last ;
unsigned int thick;
unsigned int count;
unsigned int status;
} A_MODE;

A_MODE a_modes[MAX];
This is a definition of structure called "_a_mode" and you create an alias (nickname) for this template called "A_MODE". You then create an array of this structure, the array is called "a_modes" and the number of elements in this array is "MAX".


This is switch case statement that checks for the value of the property "sen" of the structure "A_MODE" (it should be "a_modes"), and according to the value of the "sen", a different decision will be taken.

Hope this helps.

A with be 0 , B=1, C=2, D=3, E=4

Structures are used to group variables under one heading or name.

//if you declare a variable of type A_MODE which represents the above structure
A_MODE mystracture;
 
// then you will have all the above members, each one is an individual unsigned int variable, they are just grouped under a variable name
mystracture.sen
