Passing structure to function in C Language

Categories: C language

Just like other variables, a structure can also be passed to a function. We may pass the structure members into the function or pass the structure variable at once. Consider the following example to pass the structure variable employee to a function display() which is used to display the details of an employee.

#include<stdio.h>  

struct address   

{  

    char city[20];  

    int pin;  

    char phone[14];  

};  

struct employee  

{  

    char name[20];  

    struct address add;  

};  

void display(struct employee);  

void main ()  

{  

    struct employee emp;  

    printf("Enter employee information?\n");  

    scanf("%s %s %d %s",emp.name,emp.add.city, &emp.add.pin, emp.add.phone);  

    display(emp);  

}  

void display(struct employee emp)  

{  

  printf("Printing the details....\n");  

  printf("%s %s %d %s",emp.name,emp.add.city,emp.add.pin,emp.add.phone);  

}
