Nested structure in c language can have another structure as a member.
There are two ways to define nested structure in c language :
- By separate structure
- By Embedded structure
Separate Structures :
We can create 2 structures, but dependent structure should be used inside the main structure as a member.
struct Date
{
int dd;
int mm;
int yyyy;
};
struct Employee
{
int id;
char name[20];
struct Date doj;
}emp1;
As you can see, doj (date of joining) is the variable of type Date. Here doj is used as a member in Employee structure.
