Structs C++ - Reading Assignments

[kryptoslav]

1. to store several types of data at one place
2. single variables that form the struct
3. with member selection operator “.”
4. its a struct nested into another struct

[Ishoboy]

1. We need structs because in programming there will be times that we need more than one variable in order to represent an object. So by using structs which is the simplest type of aggregate data we are now able to group variables in mixed data types together in to a single unit.

2. Members(or fields) are the variables that are found inside the struct.

3. In order to access the individual members in a struct, we use the member selection operator which is a period(.) syntax format structName.memberName for example ishoboy.age

4. A nested struct is a structure within another structure, or in other words you can also say that it is a struct that contains another struct.

[HGarach]

1. Why do we need structs?
   Ans: We need them because many times, to make coding simpler, we need to group
   variables of mixed data types together into a single unit. Structs are simple
   aggragate data types that allow us to do that.

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

3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
   Ans: In order to access the individual members inside a struct, we use the member selection operator (which is a period).
   Example: struct.member

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

Reading Assignment: Structs in C++ (Answers)

1.Because it allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.
2. Variables that are part of the struct.
3. With the use of member selection operator (.)
4. Structs that contain structs.

[RhoadsNRoses82]

1. structs help organize a bunch of variables that all pertain to a certain set of data.
2. the members are the individual variables inside of the struct.
3. to access the member you would write the struct name, followed by a period, followed by the member name.
4. A nested struct is a struct that’s being referenced/created inside of another struct.

[c_Raul]

1. A structure is useful for grouping different variable together in a nice, easy to use and read format.

2.Members is what we call the varialbes in a struct. It’s characteristics.

3. By using the dot notation and the variable name.

4. a Nested struct is a struct with another struct inside of it. This way we can represent more information with less code making things more interesting

[cincinnato]

1. Why do we need structs? I think the main advantage of structs are that we can give to datas the same structure used in human brain. So for each single event we can attribute further information.
2. What are members in a struct? Each attributed variable to the struct is a member
3. How do you access a member inside a struct? By command structelement.structmember (I am not sure that the denomination is correct but I hope it would be )
4. What is a nested struct? It is a struct subordinated to another struct; this create a third level of data management.

[Alko89]

@cincinnato

By command structelement.structmember (I am not sure that the denomination is correct but I hope it would be )

Yes I think so, if you meant the first element as the name of the struct and the second the variable inside the struct (structName.elementName)

• Why do we need structs?
  If you need more than one variable to represent an object.
• What are members in a struct?
  The variables in the struct are called members.
• How do you access a member inside a struct?
  Use the member selection operator … so if you have a variable car of type Car with member make, you could say car.make = “Lambo”
• What is a nested struct? A struct that contains another struct.

[porter]

1. Structs take independent variables and groups them together to make an aggregate data type
2. Members in a struct are fields where data/variables are entered underneath the the struct
3. Member selection operator (aka a period) is used to access individual members inside a struct
4. Nested struct is a struct that contains other structs

[SabineB]

1. We need structs in order to create our own user-defined aggregate data types which are data types that groups multiple individual variables together. Structs also known as structures are used to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.

2. Members are the variables that are the part of the struct

3. In order to access the member, a member selection operator is used.

4. Nested structs are structs inside the other structs. To access members in the nested struct, we should use member selection operator twice.

1. Why do we need structs?
2. What are members in a struct?
3. How do you access a member inside a struct?
4. What is a nested struct?

Ans 1.
Structs are important when it comes to objects as we often need to store more than one variable under an object. They give us the ability to compile multiple forms of mixed data sets under one heading. They simplify retrieval of data sets by grouping together many variables under the one heading and location. Convention holds that declared struct names are always capitalised.
Ans 2.
Members in a struct are the different variable forms of information stored within the struct. This is found after the struct name declaration within the opened and closed curly brackets.
Ans 3.
Members are accessed within a struct by using the operator for that declared struct name and its parameters. An operator connects to the root struct name declaration and determines that set of variables listed under that operator name. For instance, below is an example of a declared name struct being Honda. Next to this declared name is the operator variable reference. eg. Honda mirror;
ANS 4.
A nested struct is struct within a struct. It’s a hierarchical structure that has further variables stored under a different struct name declaration that pertains to the top or main declared struct initially created.

[Paul_Mun]

1. Structs assist in making multiple objects that share similar sets of characteristics or variables. Using structs help automate the process of making these multiple objects instead of having to make each object with all of the individual variables separately.

2. Members of a struct are the each individual variables that make up the struct.

3. You access a member inside of a struct by calling the struct, adding a dot, then adding the member after.

4. A nested struct is a struct that is located inside of another struct. An example of this would be a Rocketship struct that has multiple components inside of it. This Rocketship may also have an Engine which will have multiple components inside of it as well. In this case the engine would be the nested struct located inside of the Rocketship struct.

1. Why do we need structs?
2. What are members in a struct?
3. How do you access a member inside a struct?

[carmen1408]

1. Provide better performance when we have collections of value types that we want to work together.

2. The variables that are part of the struct are called members.

3. In order to access the individual members we use the member selection operator, which is a dot. ex:
   person.name

4. Structs that contain other structs.

2. The individual variables initiated inside the struct
3. Using the member selection operator (which is a period) e.g.

myStruct myVariable;
myvariable.member1;

4. When a struct is contained as a member inside another struct

   To be able to create your own variable type.
2. What are members in a struct?
   They are variables that are the characteristics or attributes of the struct.
