[Dev-C++] Question about structs...

[Rob P. <py...@ea...>]

OK, I'm back for more information. I'm looking at a slightly different way
of building the database I asked about yesterday.

The examples I have seen for a structure are typically a database. Here's
the one I have seen posted on several newbie sites:

#include <iostream.h>

struct database
{
  int id_number;
  int age;
  float salary;
};

int main()
{
  database employee;
  employee.age=22;
  employee.id_number=1;
  employee.salary=120000.21;

  return 0;
}

My question is this; this struct as it is written will only hold one
record, and all of the entries are int's. If I wanted to have multiple
records using the same struct, can I create a struct array (correct
terminology?) like this:

struct database[100]
{
  int id_number;
  char employee_name[25];
  int age;
  float salary;
};

To populate it, or to access the individual records within the array, I
would use the standard for() loops, correct? Same with the emplyee_name[]
array?

Thanks all,
