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 3: Linear Interpolation, Mathematical Functions, and Arduino Buttons




























    Figure 1.1   Linear interpolation  assumes that a straight line joins two points f(a) and f(c), and that the value of f(b), where b lies between a and c, lies on this line.    Figure 1.2   Cubic spline interpolation  is when the points f(a) and f(c) are joined by a cubic polynomial, and the value of f(b), a function of b, which lies between points a and c, lies on this curve.   Formula  Assumes a<b<c    f(b)=f(a)+((b-a)/(c-a))[f(c)-f(a)]   Example 1  The data was given, shown in Figure 1.1 at right.        Figure 2.1   Example 2  In the example on the left, we used linear interpolation to find the freezing temperature of certain salinities of water.   1. Problem Statement  Use linear interpolation to determine the freezing temperature of water with a certain salinity.  2. Input/Output Description  Inputs: first salinity, second salinity, first freezing temperature, second freezing temperature, new salinity.  Output: new freezing temperature  3. Hand Example  See...
