Q:

How would you check whether the contents of two structure variables are same or not?

Answer

struct emp


{


     char n[20];


      int age;


};


main()


{


    struct emp e1 = {"Dravid", 23};


   struct emp e2;


   scanf ("%s %d",e2.n, & e2.age);


   if( structcmp (e1,e2) ==0)


        printf ("The structures are equal");


   else


         printf ("The structures are unequal");


}


structcmp ( struct emp x, struct emp y)


{


     if (strcmp (x.n,y.n) ==0)


           if (x.age == y.age)


            return (0);


            return (1);


}


In short, if you nee to compare two structures, you'll have to write your own function to do so which carries out the comparison field by field.
