Arrays of Structures

Notes

  • Arrays can contain only single type of information, e.g. array of integers or array of character strings
  • If array is needed to store info that contains different types of values, use array of structures
Example 1.1
h[0].name = "Camille";
h[0].year = 1969;
h[0].category = 5;

 Example 1.1 shows how to access an individual data member of a structure in an array. The array name, subscript, and data member name must be specified. 

 To access an entire structure within the array, the name of the array and a subscript must be specified. 

 Example 1.2 
print_hurricane(h[0]);

 Example 1.2 would output the following
Hurricane: Camille
Year: 1969
Category: 5

 Example 2.1

#include <stdio.h> 
#define FILENAME "storms2.txt" 
/*  Define structure to represent a hurricane.  */ 
struct hurricane 
{ 
char name[10]; 
int year, category; 
}; 
int main(void) 
{ 
/*  Declare variables and function prototype.  */ 
int max_category=0, k=0, npts; 
struct hurricane h[100]; 
FILE *storms; 
void print_hurricane(struct hurricane h); 
/*  Read and print information from the file.  */ 
storms = fopen(FILENAME,"r"); 
if (storms == NULL) 
printf("Error opening data file. \n"); 
else 
{ 
printf("Hurricanes with Maximum Category \n"); 
while (fscanf(storms, "%s %d %d",h[k].name,&h[k].year, 
&h[k].category) == 3) 
{ 
if (h[k].category > max_category) 
max_category = h[k].category; 
k++; 
} 
npts = k; 
for (k=0; k<=npts-1; k++) 
if (h[k].category == max_category) 
print_hurricane(h[k]); 
fclose(storms); 
} 
/*  Exit program   */ 
return 0; 
} 
/*–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––*/ 
/*  This function prints the hurricane information.            */ 
void print_hurricane(struct hurricane h) 
{ 
printf("Hurricane: %s \n",h.name); 
printf("Year: %d, Category: %d \n",h.year,h.category); 
return; 
}

Day 20: Structures, Programming with Pointers 




























 Lecture   Structures   Structure defines set of data, but individual parts do not have to be the same type.     Example 1.1   struct hurricane   {    char name[10];    int year,category;   };     Within a structure, variables and even arrays can be defined. Structures are also known as aggregate data types since multiple data values can be collected into a single data type. Individual values within a structure are called data members, and each member is given a name. In Example 1.1, the names of the data members are name, year, and category. To refer to a data member, the structure variable name followed by a period and a data member name is used.    Definition and Initialization    Define structure. Keyword struct used to define name of structure (aka structure tag) and data members that are included in structure  After structure defined, structure variables can be defined using declaration statements. Semicolon required after structure definition.  Statements can appear before m...

Day 6: Analog Sensors | Functions and Modularity




























 Functions  Functions are sets of statements that typically perform operation or compute value. They can help to make programs more accessible and usable for non-programmers e.g. create function that allows user to type "go forward" and move a robot forward.    Modules   -Functions can be split up into modules, "divide and conquer"  -Each module has specific purpose, can be written and tested separately  -Smaller than complete solution, therefore testing is easier  -Can be used in new problem solutions without being retested  -Reduces overall length of program  -Allows for increased collaboration; modules can be worked on in parallel    Debugging Longer Programs   Use a compiler that gives meaningful information about errors. Adding comments around some sections of code can allow for better focus on other parts of the program. Test complicated functions by themselves.   Programmer Defined Functions   Execution of program always begins with main function. Additional ...

Day 7: Random Numbers and Recursion | Sound




























  Lecture   Random Numbers    Random numbers can be generated using the rand function, however, the same value would be printed since it generates integers in a specified sequence. To generate a new sequence of random numbers each time, a new random-number seed is needed. First, I need to use srand to generate a seed in order for the rand function to generate new random numbers every time.     We can also generate random integers between specified limits.     #include <stdio.h>   #include <stdlib.h>     int main(void)   {     /* Declare variables and function prototype. */     unsigned int seed;     int a, b, k;     int rand_int(int a,int b);     /* Get seed value and interval limits. */     printf("Enter a positive integer seed value: \n");     scanf("%u",&seed);     srand(seed);     printf("Enter integer limits a and b (a<b): \n");     scanf("%i %i",&a,&b);     /* Generate and print ten random numbe...
