C++ question on Structs

mrplopez1972 · 01-23-2011, 08:55 PM

Please tell me how to incorporate these two structs in the same progam:

struct Name
{
string first;
string middle;
string last;
};
Name yourName
Name myName

with....

struct studentRecord
{
Name studentName;
Name teacherName;
int gradeNumber;
string grades;
}
studentRecord sally;

I have worked at this for 4 hours now.

name.cpp

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;

typedef struct
{
   string first;
   string middle;
   string last;
}Name;

typedef struct
{
   Name   studentName;
   Name   teacherName;
   int    gradeNumber;
   string grades;
}studentRecord;

int main () 
{
     studentRecord sally;
}

What were you asking here exactly? The above shown code is compiling properly!

Code:

anisha@linux-uitj:~> g++ name.cpp -Wall -Wextra
anisha@linux-uitj:~>

Nothing personal, but that's C written in C++ (or C++ written in C?)

A good place to start is http://www.cplusplus.com/; look for C++ Language Tutorial.

I initially compiled the code as a C file, then realized that he did use the type string, so using namespace std; had to be included, so I just changed the extension of that file to .cpp and compiled it through g++!
