ANSI C Programming: Processing Records

Course details

To describe how to write ANSI C programs for processing aggregate data objects individually, in arrays, and in lists

• Declaring and defining structures in ANSI C
• use the correct syntax when declaring and defining structures in ANSI C.
• Writing a structure in ANSI C
• define and declare a structure in ANSI C.
• Using structures in ANSI C
• declare and define nested structures, distinguish between valid and invalid structures, access structure members, and assign data to a structure in ANSI C.
• Assigning data to a structure in ANSI C
• write an ANSI program that will store user input in a structure.
• Arrays of structures in ANSI C
• define a structure array in ANSI C.
• Pointers to structures in ANSI C
• define pointers to structures, access structure members, user pointers with nested structures, and define an array of structure pointers in ANSI C.
• Structures and functions in ANSI C
• pass structures to functions using both pointers and copies of structures in ANSI C.
• Passing and returning structures in an ANSI C function
• write an ANSI C program that passes a structure to a function as a formal parameter and returns a structure.
• Using bit fields in ANSI C
• use the correct syntax for bit fields in ANSI C and identify the advantages and disadvantages of using them.
• Using unions in ANSI C
• distinguish between unions and structures and declare and define a union in ANSI C.
• Linking structures in ANSI C
• use pointers to link two structures in ANSI C.
• Using sizeof and typedef in ANSI C
• use sizeof with variables, arrays, unions and structures, redefine datatype names with typedef in ANSI C.
