Structures: Your Custom Data Types
Declaration Real-World Example Accessing Members
struct keyword + structure name + Representing a student record with Dot operator (.). Example:
members. Example: members like name, ID, and GPA.
myBook.price = 29.99;
struct Book {
char title;
char author;
float price;
};
Nested Structures: Structures
Inside Structures
Complex Data Models
1
Structures within structures create detailed models.

Address Example

struct Address {
char street;
char city;
int zip;

2 };

Integrate into

struct Student

Access Nested Members


Chained dot operators:
3
student1.address.zip = 90210;
Unions: One Memory, Multiple Personalities

Declaration Key Difference

union keyword + union name +


2 Members share the same memory
location.
members:

1
union Data {
int i;
float f;
Accessing Members
char str;
}; Dot operator (.). Only one member
3 can hold a value at a time.
Memory Layout: Structures vs. Unions
Structures Unions
Members allocated sequentially. Size = sum of member sizes Size = size of the largest member. Visualization: Diagrams
(+ padding). show memory allocation.

Understanding memory usage is essential for efficient coding.


Structures: Memory Matters
Memory Allocation
Explanation of how memory is allocated for structures.

Padding for Alignment


Understanding why padding happens in memory.

sizeof() Operator
Determining structure size using

sizeof()

.
Unions: Memory Magic
Sharing Memory Memory Optimization Practical Use Cases
Benefits and drawbacks of sharing Using unions for memory Saving memory in embedded
memory space. optimization techniques. systems using unions.
Recap and Real-World
Applications
1 Structures
