Structs C++ - Reading Assignments

[Cryptofun85]

1. Structs are useful when we need to define a customized type of variable that contains, like a bag,
   a certain number of other variables.

2. The members in a struct are the single variables contained in the struct.

3. structName.memberName

4. A nested struct is a struct whose members (or at least one member) are structs too.

[Jins]

1. Structs are needed because they allow us to “group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.

2. Members are the individuals variable inside of a struct.

3. To access a member inside of a struct you must first have a variable defined for your struct. Once that is done you can use the variable name followed by a period, then the individual struct name. After that you can assign a value to the variable through the use of the equals sign followed by the desired assignment.

4. A nested struct is when a struct contains other structs.

[LukeS]

1. Structs allow us to declare our own data types.
2. Variables that are part of a struct
3. By using a member selection operator “.”
4. A struct with a struct as a member

[Phillipe089]

1. Why do we need structs?
   code are becoming to long and unclear without structs and it allows us to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit

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?
   via the index variable

4. What is a nested struct?
   When a structure contains another structure, it is called nested structure. … To make Address nested to Employee, we have to define Address structure before and outside Employee structure and create an object of Address structure inside Employee structure.

[jokir]

1. We need structs when we need to create variables with more than one data type.
2. Members are variables declared inside the struct. All structs of the type type will have the same members, however the data stored in the members of each instance of that struct type might be different.
3. By calling the struct name, and the variable name. ie: joe.name
4. A nested struct is a struct used as a member inside another struct.

[bfleming98]

1. Why do we need structs?

In cases where you need to store more than one variable and make it less tedious.

2. What are members in a struct?

The data elements that make it up (age,name, race, gender, etc…)

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

STRUCT_NAME.MEMBER (example Person.Age)

4. What is a nested struct?

A struct that uses a struct as one of its members.

[Karla]

• 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?

1. To store multiple variables of mixed data types in one place.
2. The different variables in a struct are called members.
3. With a member selection operator, which is a period.
   structname.member(=value)
4. That’s when a struct (and its members) turns into a sub-struct because its used as a member in another struct.

[Duende]

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

[loso]

1. We need structs so that we are able to create our own form of aggregate data type. This allows us to store more than one variable that represents one object. Essentially this allows use to bring multiple data types under one single unit.
2. Members are the different variables that are within a struct.
3. A member within a struct is accessed by calling the struct name.member
4. A nested struct is a struct that contains one or more structs within itself.

[Marcus_Hopkins]

1. Why do we need structs? So we can use more than one variable to represent an object.
2. What are members in a struct? The variables within the struct are called memebers
3. How do you access a member inside a struct? by using an alias ie… (person p) to p.name, p.age, etc
   4 What is a nested struct? its a struct within a struct. kinda like a nested SQL statement

[Zaqoy]

1. Why do we need structs?
   To group variables of different data types together into a single unit

2. What are members in a struct?
   User defined variable types

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

4. What is a nested struct?
   a member inside a struct that is also of struct type

[Samuel1]

1. A structure is used when we want to group several variables in an aggregated data type.
2. The variables that make up a struc are called members.
3. To access members in a struct, you use dot notation or member selection operator.
4. A nested struct is when you insert a struct in another struct.

[solich]

1. To create an object and store values in it.
2. Values of the object
3. structName.member
4. its a struct in a struct.

[pod]

1. To create structures that allow us to define several related variables under one name
2. They are variables inside a struct
3. Using the notation struct_instance.member_variable
4. A struct within a struct

[ballack13r]

1. We need structs in order to group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.
2. The members in a struct are normal variables that are found inside the struct.
3. In order to access the individual members, we use the member selection operator (which is a period).
4. A nested struct is a struct that contains other structs.

[maro]

1. To group variables of mixed data types together into a single unit.
2. Variables that are part of the struct.
3. struct.member.
4. Struct that contain other struct.

[Randallcrum]

1. Structs make it possible to group a number of related variables together as part of a larger data structure.

2. Members in a struct are the individual variables that are part of the struct.

3. You access the member of a struct by typing struct.member

4. A nested struct is when you use a defined struct inside another struct. So for example, you could define struct color as having the variables red, green, and blue, and then have a struct ball containing variables diameter and color, where color is a struct nested inside the struct ball.

[kylemoore8]

1. They are used to group values together.

2. The variables in the struct.

3. Struct.member

4. A struct within a struct.

[zach]

1. Structs allow us to create our own data types. This way we can aggregate data of many related but different types into a single container.
2. Members of structs are the variables defined inside the struct.
3. To access a member of a struct, we use this format: ‘structName.memberName’.
4. A nested struct is a struct defined inside of another struct. For example, if you were collecting data on the schedules of people at a school, you might use a Schedules struct and within that, a Student struct and a Teacher struct.

[tbaker]

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the following code (compile error at the “return fractions” line: “error: could not convert ‘fractions’ from ‘Fraction [0]’ to ‘Fraction’”)

> struct Fraction
> {
>     int numerator{};
>     int denominator{};
> };
> 
> Fraction getFractions()
> {
>     Fraction fractions[] {};
>     cout << "Enter first fraction numerator: ";
>     cin >> fractions[0].numerator;
>     cout << "Enter first fraction denominator: ";
>     cin >> fractions[0].denominator;
>     cout << "Enter second fraction numerator: ";
>     cin >> fractions[1].numerator;
>     cout << "Enter second fraction denominator: ";
>     cin >> fractions[1].denominator;
> 
>     return fractions;
> }
> 
> int main()
> {
>     Fraction fractions[]{getFractions()};
> 
>     cout << "The product of these fractions is " << fractions[0].numerator * fractions[0].numerator / fractions[0].denominator * fractions[0].denominator;
> }
