Accessing Struct Fields

After we have created a structure to describe a chemical element, we can finally interact with it.

In order to access the information contained in the structure, we must use the . operator.

The . operator allows us to access the elements (fields) of the structure directly.

This way we get access to a member of the structure.

Let's try to display information about silicon on the screen:

c

main

copy
123456789101112131415161718192021
#include "stdio.h" struct chemicalElement { char name[3]; int atomicNumber; int valency; double mass; }; int main() { struct chemicalElement silicon = { "Si", 14, 4, 28.08 }; printf("Name: %s\n", silicon.name); printf("Atomic Number: %d\n", silicon.atomicNumber); printf("Valency: %d\n", silicon.valency); printf("Mass: %f", silicon.mass); return 0; }

Note

Pointers are also widely used to access structure fields, but we'll cover that later.

If you used the second method of creating a struct-variable, you need to use the srtcopy() function to output silicon.name.

c

main

copy
123456789101112131415161718192021222324
#include "stdio.h" struct chemicalElement { char name[3]; int atomicNumber; int valency; double mass; } silicon; int main() { strcpy(silicon.name,"Si"); // using `strcpy()` silicon.atomicNumber = 14; silicon.valency = 4; silicon.mass = 28.08; printf("Name: %s\n", silicon.name); printf("Atomic Number: %d\n", silicon.atomicNumber); printf("Valency: %d\n", silicon.valency); printf("Mass: %f", silicon.mass); return 0; }

Note

The strcpy() function is used to copy the specified (“Si”) string to the name[3] field of the created variable.
