    Week-13 Struct Enum Typedef

    Enum, Typedef & Structs are C programming concepts for organizing data. [1] Enum allows defining enumeration constants with unique names that can represent different possible values like true/false or different data types. Typedef defines new data type names for existing types like int. [2] Structures group different variable data types together under one type, allowing multiple related pieces of data to be accessed or passed together as one object. This is useful for representing complex objects with multiple attributes. [3] Structures can be defined with or without labels, initialized with starting values, used as arrays, accessed via pointers, and passed as arguments to functions to organize and manage related program data.

    Enum, Typedef & Structs

    Assist. Prof. Dr. Umit ATİLA


    Enum
    ● Enumaration constants are like symbolic
    constants.
    – Enum values are set automatically
    – Values start at 0 and incremented by 1
    – Need unique constant names
    ● We can create our own data type by enum
    ● For example we can create a new boolean type
    in which 0 is false and 1 is true
    Enum

    Enum
    ● Notice that we use enum keyword for each variable definition.
    ● We have two alternative ways for not writing enum for each variable
    definition
    – Defining variable with enum definition
    – Using typedef
    ● Enum is useful if you have some data to be grouped or arranged.
    Some examples:
    – enum education { primarySchool, secondarySchool, highSchool, graduate,
    master };
    – enum education student;
    – enum sex { male, female };
    – enum sex person;
    Enum
    Typedef
    ● Used to name data types with other user
    defined names.
    ● Format of typedef:
    – typedef old_datatype_name new_datatype_name
    – typedef int tamsayi
    ● defines int as tamsayi
    Typedef
    Enum
    ● If enum is defined globally it can be used as parameter to a function
    Enum
    Structures
    ● Used to group different types of variables in one
    structure.
    ● Structures are important for object oriented
    programming
    Structures
    Structures

    ● If not used struct in this sample we would have to define 9 different variables.
    ● We make it with 3 variables.
    ● Think about a program that takes 20 informations for a person.
    ● With 3 person you have to define 60 different variables.
    ● Another advantage using struct is with copying data on an other variable.
    ● you = yourSister assignment copies your sister's data on to your data
    Nested Structures
    Labeling Structures

    ● Labeling structures has many advantages.


    ● If dont, you can just define variables when defining struct.
    ● If you use labels you can define as many variables as you want from struct in any point
    of your program
    ● We have to create a variable using label to start using structure
    Initial Values for Structures
    ● Structures can be defined with initial values of
    its variables.
    ● Order of the values must fit to the structure's
    order.
    ● You can give initial values for structures defined
    with or without label.
    Initial Values for Structures
    Arrays of Structures
    Accessing Structures with Pointers
    Passing Structures to Functions
    ● Define structure globally and pass to function
