How do we create a structure in C#?


In C#, a structure is a value type data type. It helps you to make a single variable hold related data of various data types. The struct keyword is used for creating a structure.

To define a structure, you must use the struct statement. The struct statement defines a new data type, with more than one member for your program.

For example, here is the way you can declare the Book structure.

struct Books {
   public string title;
   public string author;
   public string subject;
   public int book_id;
};

The following is an example showing how to create structure in C#.

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
struct Books {
public string title;
   public string author;
   public string subject;
   public int book_id;
};
public class testStructure {
   public static void Main(string[] args) {
      Books Book1; /* Declare Book1 of type Book */
      Books Book2; /* Declare Book2 of type Book */
      /* book 1 specification */
      Book1.title = "C Programming";
      Book1.author = "Nuha Ali";
      Book1.subject = "C Programming Tutorial";
      Book1.book_id = 6495407;
      /* book 2 specification */
      Book2.title = "Telecom Billing";
      Book2.author = "Zara Ali";
      Book2.subject = "Telecom Billing Tutorial";
      Book2.book_id = 6495700;
      /* print Book1 info */
      Console.WriteLine( "Book 1 title : {0}", Book1.title);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 1 author : {0}", Book1.author);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 1 subject : {0}", Book1.subject);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 1 book_id :{0}", Book1.book_id);
      /* print Book2 info */
      Console.WriteLine("Book 2 title : {0}", Book2.title);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 2 author : {0}", Book2.author);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 2 subject : {0}", Book2.subject);
      Console.WriteLine("Book 2 book_id : {0}", Book2.book_id);
      Console.ReadKey();
   }
}

Output

Book 1 title : C Programming
Book 1 author : Nuha Ali
Book 1 subject : C Programming Tutorial
Book 1 book_id :6495407
Book 2 title : Telecom Billing
Book 2 author : Zara Ali
Book 2 subject : Telecom Billing Tutorial
Book 2 book_id : 6495700
