How To Use Structs for Real World Applications [C Tutorial]

After you’ve been building some beginner programs in C, you’ll start to realize that you want to build more complex programs which require a lot more variables. Say you want to build a to-do list application or an application that categorizes your credit card transactions. You’ll start to realize that you can’t get away with just using arrays. You need something more complicated for your data structures.

In my last video, I talked about the importance of developing a coding plan before you start building your application. That coding plan is important because it gives you a clear vision for what kind of data structures you’re going to have in your program. After you have those clear data structures in place, you can put in data logic and functionality for how to process that data.

So in this video, I’ll be going over how to use structs in C. I’ll go over an example on what a program would look like before structs and after, so that you can really see how powerful structs are when it comes to building more complex applications.

In this video, you’ll learn
✅ The value of using structs
✅ How to use structs and typedef
✅ How structs can help you build real world applications

Thank you for watching, and happy coding! 💻🧡
