Help in passing structure elements through function

**kriss332** · 09-22-2013

hello. I am studying C from "C programming-A modern approach" by 'KN King'. I am stuck at structures topic while he tells about a function, using which we can pass & assign the elements of structure. I am not able to complete it.

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
struct part_build (int num,char *name, int on_hand)
{
struct part p;

p.number=num;
strcpy(p.name,name);
p.on_hand=on_hand;
return p;
}

int main(void)
{
struct part part1;  //IT WASN'T THERE IN BOOK, BUT WRITING IT HERE AVOIDS AN ERROR
part1=part_build(1,"tyre",22);
}

I am new to structures and it is spinning me since yesterday... Thanks...

Something like this?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

struct test
{
    int d;
};

void fillStruct(struct test * t)
{
    t->d = 10;
}
void printStruct(struct test * t)
{
    printf("t->d = %d\n",  t->d);
}
int main()
{
    struct test t1 = {0};

    fillStruct(&t1);

    printStruct(&t1);
   return 0;
}

Most questions are already answered in the FAQ FAQ > All about structures - Cprogramming.com
