Passing Value of a struct into a function

[gilly]

Hi,

just a quick question i have a function saving values into my struct, that all works but i do not know how to access these values in a different function to the one that saved them code is below.

typedef struct InputT{
double length;
double startingangle;
double angle;
} Input;

void input(){
Input input;

scanf("%lf", &input.lengt h);

scanf("%lf", &input.starting angle);

scanf("%lf", &input.angle );
return;
}

i wish to now access them in another function say to print
eg

Void print_from_stru ct{
printf("%lf", input.length);
return;
}

I know this dosnt work but i wish to do something like this any help would be great

Advanced thanks

Once your struct is defined you can treat it like any other variable of known type, eg int, double etc. Your function declaration should be done as normal. Put the struct as a parameter in the function header. Once inside the function you can cast to a double and print using printf or use cout. It should look like

void FunctionName(struct StructName)
{
       //Function Body

       printf("The length is %e \n",StructName.length);

      //Functions of type void don't require a return type
}

void input(){
Input input;

Void print_from_stru ct{
printf("%lf", input.length);
return;
}

just a small reminder, here u would get a error for redefiniton of input, there are few limitations in naming variables. you can always pass structures by value.

}

Other way is to make structre global.

//typedef a struct

StructName MyStruct.

//main and rest of the functions and coding
