Declaring Structure type Array in C Language

Structure type array can be created just like array of basic data types is created.

Syntax:
struct <struct_name><Arr_Name>[Size];

Here, struct is the keyword which specifies that a structure type variable is being initialized.
struct_name referes to the name of structure of which we are going to create a variable.
Arr_Name refers to the name of structure type array.
Size refers to the maximum number of values that can be stored in structure type array.

Example:
struct emp e[20];
In this example, array with name e of structure emp has been declared with size 20.

Program of structure type array.

#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
struct emp
{
  int empid;
  char ename[20];
};
int main()
{
  struct emp e1[3];
  for(i=0;i<3;i++)
  {
    printf("\nEnter employee id=");
    scanf("%d",&e1[i].empid);
    printf("\nEnter employee name=");
    fflush(stdin);
    gets(e1[i].ename);
}
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
  printf("\nEmployee id = %d",e1[i].empid);
  printf("\nEmployee Name = %s",e1[i].ename);
}
  return(0);
}

Output

Enter employee id =101
Enter employee name=amitEnter employee id =102
Enter employee name=sumitEnter employee id =103
Enter employee name=Rahul
Employee id = 101
Employee Name = amit
Employee id = 102
Employee Name =sumit
Employee id = 103
Employee Name =Rahul
