pointer to struct code example

Example 1: how to use pointer to struct c++

typedef struct{
    int vin;
    char* make;
    char* model;
    int year;
    double fee;
}car;

car TempCar;
tempCar->vin = 1234;  // metodo 1
(*tempCar).make = "GM"; // metodo 2
tempCar->year = 1999;
tempCar->fee = 20.5;

Example 2: how to assign struct address to the pointer

#include

struct dog
{
    char name[10];
    char breed[10];
    int age;
    char color[10];
};

int main()
{
    struct dog my_dog = {"tyke", "Bulldog", 5, "white"};
    struct dog *ptr_dog;
    ptr_dog = &my_dog;

    printf("Dog's name: %s\n", ptr_dog->name);
    printf("Dog's breed: %s\n", ptr_dog->breed);
    printf("Dog's age: %d\n", ptr_dog->age);
    printf("Dog's color: %s\n", ptr_dog->color);

    // changing the name of dog from tyke to jack
    strcpy(ptr_dog->name, "jack");

    // increasing age of dog by 1 year
    ptr_dog->age++;

    printf("Dog's new name is: %s\n", ptr_dog->name);
    printf("Dog's age is: %d\n", ptr_dog->age);

    // signal to operating system program ran fine
    return 0;
}
