Structures
What?

Why?

How?
struct <struct-name> {
<data-declarations>;
} <optional-list-of-variables>;

Declare a structure representing a date having a integer.month, day of month, and year.

Create a variable containing todays date..

Complete the function below that displays the a date structure..

void printDate (struct Date date) {

Typedef
what:
why:

Nested structs and Array of structs

Consider the code:
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct Date ... //from previous page
typedef struct Pokemon {
char name[11];
char type[11];
float weight;
Date caught;
} Pokemon;
void printDate (Date date) ... //from previous page
void printPm(Pokemon
printf("\nPokemon
printf("\nPokemon
printf("\nPokemon
printf("\nPokemon
printf("\n");
}

pm) {
Name
Type
Weight
Caught on

:
:
:
:

%s",pm.name);
%s",pm.type);
%f",pm.weight);
", printDate(pm.caught));

int main(void) {
Pokemon pm1 = {"Abra","Psychic",30,{19,9,2016}};
printPm(pm1);

Creafe an arry, named pokedex, initialized with three pokemon.

Complete the function below so it displays a pokedex..

printDex(pokedex, 3);
void printDex(Pokemon dex[], int size) {

Pointers to structs
Why?

How?

Declare a pointer.

Dynamically allocate space for a Pokemon.

Assign values to the members of the structure.

Dynamically deallocate space.

Update the code on the previous page to efficiently pass and print a pokedex,.
