Typedef understanding

in my tutrial a shorthand version for structure like you could do in a program
like ?

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct employee char address[50];
int main(void)
{
struct employee emp;
printf("Name is %s",emp.adress);
return 0;
}

---

thanks in advanced for your help.

Yeah, that's a pretty horrible example. Do you have a question about why it doesn't work, or what?

More like:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct
{
    char address[50];
} employee;

int main(void)
{
    employee emp;

    /* Initialise emp */

    printf("Name is &#37;s", emp.address);
    return 0;
}

Of course, the struct could also be named.

yes thanks laserswitch i understand it now its just
a shortcut in way to not like struct employee variable you just do
typedef struct employee thenyourshortcut.

i tried this code

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
struct employee
{
char name[50];
char address[51];
int age;
float salary;
};
typedef struct employee shortcut;
int main(void)
{
shortcut x;
fputs("Please Enter your age: ",stdout);
scanf("&#37;d",x.age);
printf("Age is %d",x.age);
fputs("Please Enter your salary: ",stdout);
scanf("%f",x.salary);
printf("Age is %f",x.salary);
return 0;
}

---

but program crashed i dunt know why though.

nvm lol i was too fast i forgot refressing it though lol & behind scanf variable

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>
struct employee
{
char name[50];
char address[51];
int age;
float salary;
};
typedef struct employee shortcut;
int main(void)
{
shortcut x;
fputs("Please Enter your age: ",stdout);
scanf("&#37;d",&x.age);
printf("Age is %d",x.age);
fputs("Please Enter your salary: ",stdout);
scanf("%f",&x.salary);
printf("Age is %f",x.salary);
return 0;
}
