C++- Element selection through pointer

Objectives:

  • passing struct and pointer to struct as an argument/parameter in a function.
  • use of dereference(*) operator in a struct pointer.
  • use of Element Selection (->) operator with pointer, also called indirect membership operator

     

Step: 1 Create a project

Step: 2 Create a source file

Step : 3 Edit Source code

Step: 4 Runtime view

Step: 5 Using indirect membership operator (->).

  •  In the older version of C, the only way to pass a structure as an argument.
  • To pass a pointer to a structure as an argument, use indirect membership operator(->) to access struct-members in the function.

Note the use of indirect membership operator.
