Structs C++ - Reading Assignments

[laserkavajen]

Why do we need structs?

Answer: We need structs if the developer have collection of value-types i.e. string and int. Thanks to structs the program get’s better performance.

What are members in a struct?

Variables.

How do you access a member inside a struct?

The developer access members with a dot i.e. p.name, p.age and p.gender.

What is a nested struct?

It is structs inside structs i.e. one structs can be declared inside another structs exactly as the developer declare structs members inside a struct.

Why do we need structs?

A struct (short for structure) allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.

What are members in a struct?

variables that are part of the struct are called members (or fields)

How do you access a member inside a struct?

In order to access the individual members, we use the member selection operator (which is a period)

What is a nested struct?

Structs that contain other structs

[silvrbitcoin]

1.) We need structs to organize different types of variables into single groupings. Structs are also known as “aggregate data types”.
2.)Members are variables contained within a struct. They are the defining features of the struct itself.
3.)In order to access a member inside a struct we must use a “Member selector variable”, which is a period.
4.)A nested struct is a struct within a struct!

• Why do we need structs?
  For group multiple variables in an struct.

• What are members in a struct?
  Members are variables( any variable: string, int, double etc)

• How do you access a member inside a struct?
  struct.member

• What is a nested struct?
  We have a struck inside another struck as a variable

1. “A struct allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.” - https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/47-structs/
2. Members are variable in a struct.
3. " In order to access the individual members, we use the member selection operator (which is a period)." - https://www.learncpp.com/cpp-tutorial/47-structs/
4. A nested struct, is a struct contained within another struct.

1. Structs are used to store more than one variable in an object.

2. Variables that are part of structs are called members.

3. A period or member selection operator is used to access struct members. i.e. struct.member

4. A nested struct contains one or multiple structs in a struct.

[reisnertobias]

1. Why do we need structs?
   We can use struct to store variables that represent an object.

2. What are members in a struct?

The variable of the struct.

3. How do you access a member inside a struct?

struct.member

4. What is a nested struct?

When one struct has another struct like member

[Filipe_Venancio]

1. Why do we need structs?
   To group multiple individual variables together, in that way we can characterize “something” (object).

2. What are members in a struct?
   The variables that are part of the struct.

3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
   We use the member selection operator (.)
   Ex: struct.member

4. What is a nested struct?
   A struct that contains other struct.

[Alko89]

@acf

A nested struct contains one or multiple structs in a struct.

@reisnertobias

When one struct has another struct like member

@Filipe_Venancio

A struct that contains other struct.

Its a struct within a struct.

[Filipe_Venancio]

inception! haha

[SimpleSimon]

Q1. Why do we need structs?

A1. In order to have more than one variable to represent an object - i.e. to create an aggregate data type

Q2. What are members in a struct?

A2. Variables that are part of the struct which can be referred to/thought of as fields

Q3. How do you access a member inside a struct?

A3. Using the “member selection operator” - i.e. a “period”, e.g. syntax format: struct.member

Q4. What is a nested struct?

A4. A (parent) struct that contains a member in the form of another (child) struct

[CaliCrypto22]

1. Why do we need structs?
   A: A “struct” allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit. It makes things easier than having multiple independent variables that are not grouped in any way.

2. What are members in a struct?
   A: The variables that are part of the struct are called “members” (or fields).

3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
   A: struct.member

4. What is a nested struct?
   A: A structure within a structure.

[PapatoniC]

1. Why do we need structs?
   to define new data types that are not available by default.
2. What are members in a struct?
   variables and default data types , like int , string , boolean or double
3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
   by calling structName.variable
4. What is a nested struct?
   a member in a struct can be another struct type. So basically an struct inside another struct

[sandrau]

Why do we need structs? A structure creates a data type that can be used to group items of possibly different types into a single type.

2. What are members in a struct?
   A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths.

3. How do you access a member inside a struct? To access the members of the inner structure, we write a variable name of the outer structure, followed by a dot( . ) operator, followed by the variable of the inner structure, followed by a dot( . ) operator, which is then followed by the name of the member we want to access.
   4.What is a nested struct?
   Nested structure in C is nothing but structure within structure. One structure can be declared inside other structure as we declare structure members inside a structure. The structure variables can be a normal structure variable or a pointer variable to access the data.
   use the member selection operator (which is a period). Here is an example of using the member selection operator to initialize each member variable:
   Employee joe; // create an Employee struct for Joe
   joe.id = 14; // assign a value to member id within struct joe

1. A struct (short for structure) allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.
2. Variables that are part of the struct are called members (or fields).
3. You use the member selection operator (which is a period).
4. Structs that can contain other structs are nested.

Why do we need structs?

Structs allow for easy storage and passing of large amounts of information.

@ivan

What are members in a struct?

Members are the stored variables inside a struct.

@ivan

How do you access a member inside a struct?

By using the member selection operator, a period.

@ivan

What is a nested struct?

A struct within another struct.

1 To be able to custom made our variable. It is very good for many data for many users like account creation with personal details.
2 Members are variables of the struct
3 structName.memberName
4 This is when a strut has a another strut like a member

2. What are members in a struct?
3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
4. What is a nested struct?

1. We need struct (short for structure) to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.

• Why do we need structs?
• What are members in a struct?
• How do you access a member inside a struct?
• What is a nested struct?

• We need structs because they allow us to define our own data type, using grouped variables of mixed data types into a single data type.
  Since structs are user defined, we have to declare them with the struct keyword.

• Members are variables that are part of the struct within the struct body.

• In order to access a member inside a struct, we use the member selection operator (a period)

• A nested struct is a struct that contains another struct.

[muradawad]

1. Why do we need structs?
   Structs are used for lightweight objects such as Rectangle, color, Point, etc. Unlike class, structs in C++ are value type than reference type. It is useful if you have data that is not intended to be modified after creation of struct. C++ Structure is a collection of different data types.

2. What are members in a struct?
   Data Member: These members are normal C++ variables. We can create a structure with variables of different data types in C++.
   Member Functions: These members are normal C++ functions. Along with variables, we can also include functions inside a structure declaration.

3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
   struct.memberDataType

4. What is a nested struct?
   nested structs are a useful way of organizing your code, and perhaps even restricting what others can do with it. In essence, a nested type is just one data type defined inside another:

Struct Deck {
Struct Card {
}
}
