STRUCTURES

The most useful kind of custom data type is the structure, or record.  The structure groups several different data types together so they may be manipulated using a single name.  A structure representing a personnel record may look like:

    struct    personnel_rec
    {
        char    name[80];
        int    id_number;
        float    salary;
    };

The name, or TAG, of this new data type follows identifier naming rules*.  (Some programmers capitalize the first or all letters of the tag.)  Although the foregoing defines the new data type, it does not yet allocate space for a variable having this type.  A new variable named jack is declared using:
