C++ Tutorial - 22 - Structures

[@mildlymaliciousbanana2700]

HI Bucky I know you're never going to see this but thank you for helping me. My father decided to tutor me in programming when I was 9 and I found your videos, so we started to use them. even now I still watch them, you've been such a big part of my life, so thank you.

very inspiring! where you from? what country?

[@colbyNcheese]

I really appreciate all these videos man. I'm more of a hands on or watcher learner and this beats the hell out of reading from a boring book all day. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work.

[@kevinaugustine]

Thanks much, Your tutorials are extraordinarily helpful for me. I am trying to navigate my way through my self taught program to learn about computers and coding- your tutorials of C++ and How to Build a Computer are greatly appreciated. I am indebted for your efforts, Kevin Walsh Chicago Peak Oil

[@HarbingerBittmann]

So structures aren't the gigantic mess of things the prof made them out to be? -.- Subbed. Thank you.

[@riteshyeddu]

Haha

[@WhatTheFlipOfficial]

This got me through university almost 10 years ago and it resurfaced today

[@jeevanalexen]

that must have been quite a feeling

[@isaiahryman3470]

Bucky, your vids have helped me so much dude. I know its 10 years old, but thanks for all of your tutorials. You're a life saver. Also I've never run into issues with your syntax and my CSCI professors are very picky. (Thanks * 1,000)

[@GregAllison]

3:22 As a Greg, I felt this personally.

[@175griffin]

I don't like your curly brackets.

[@jthardee92]

Griffin okay that's what i thought but it goes so much deeper, the main function isn't indented but the closing curly bracket still is, some of the tabs are 8 spaces and some of the tabs are 10 spaces. I mean honestly the more you look at it the more fucked up it is. I cannot get over this formatting lol

[@freematrix6368]

Dear Bucky, I am 14 years old. For the past 2 years I researched about c++ but never found any good tutorials, I can't even find a compiler but when I watched your videos everything changed. Thank you.

[@freematrix6368]

Hahaha it's been 5 months and I made an RPG game with full 3d graphics without even buying a book, I can learn with this I am not stupid in fact I learned 70% of my knowledge by myself and 15% from my school and the rest from my family and other stuff.

[@acerider4660]

Free Matrix Man shut up. Making what you just said is near impossible by one man.Especially by a 14 year old in 4 months.

[@freematrix6368]

[@blipboop2763]

+Free Matrix Hey leave him alone! He lost his compiler!

[@vitya5731]

+Ace Rider It is actually possible, by copying the codes from tutorials ^^

Man this help me a lot I was having a bad time trying to understand structures, but you made it in an easy way dude. !!!!

[@ahmedgamberli2250]

I wasn't even born when you made this video! Btw, thanks for the video.

I'm so grateful for these videos. This guy is getting me through school. My C++ text is book is a piece of garbage. I would be so dead and failing if I hadn't found TheNewBoston. Thanks Bucky.

[@jalalhamza1344]

alright 13years and still the best vid on structures

[@papano12]

No, you explained it correctly. Yeah I'm getting really into C++. Thanks for helping.

[@thissvans]

Watching this 14years later

[@dezeya4242564]

Honestly the best tutorials on the internet

[@Ajcav763]

20 is just a number that allows the string to go up to(in characters)

[@TheBeresford7]

@JoelakaDamian there is its called general practice keeping the code efficient and clean

[@Patsfan33]

This video was a life saver. THANK YOU

[@Flowlance]

Good guide. why is there a semicolon after the curly brackets for structures?

[@tarirocoffee5026]

Bucky Roberts??? Just bumped into this tutorial, once did javascript with you. Best tuts!

[@napsy12345]

A structure is not a variable to store similar information. It's a collection of a group of variables. A structures has a symbolic name but it's not a data type but a way to handle different variables more conveniently.

[@inuyaxxa]

Hi guys, maybe its a dumb question... but why: char name[20]; and not string name;

[@kareemayman1926]

for string you need to add library cstring

[@m_t_t_]

@@kareemayman1926 so add it then

[@shanewalsch]

chars take less space

[@thataverageplayer5680]

@@m_t_t_ it's a waste of overhead. You are making your program do more work than necessary.

[@m_t_t_]

@@thataverageplayer5680 but you are making it easier to work with. Plus it will slow your program down by less than a millisecond so it won’t even be noticeable.

[@LumpyKorn]

@archaniel99x int is for numbers only while a char is a letter such as "a, b, or z". The brackets that he uses is to show that it is an array of the type char. This means that there will be a series of chars being used such as "mike". The number 20 means that the maximum array length is 20 so he would be able to enter a name with up to 20 chars. If he made it char name[3] you would only be able to use 3 letters such a "Dan".

[@crok042000]

wow i was confused about this but after studying your video i got the hang of it thanks..... you should be a college professor

[@SalmondKeyStudios]

@SteakOfAnger A char variable, by itself, only stores 1 character. He needs a character array to store the full name, though I don't see why he just doesn't use a String.

[@NickFallsFromTheRoof]

bucky my guy you rock.

[@RescueLoL]

@dmdrummer23 as you may noticed, the struct is the pre-version of a class, concrete said a very simple class with only public attributes and no methods. as i can say of my experience in developing applications i've only seen structs in performance applications where not much information overhead is needed but where code modularity is necessary because of code complexity. of course you can develop OO in c++ like in Java. hope this answer helped you a bit ;) happy developing!

[@MeneerJK]

he says hello everybody welcome to your FIRST toturial, but we're at 22 lol

[@jrgalioto]

Cramming for a final. Thanks for your help.

[@jaredthecoder]

I thought it was a semi-rhetoric question but no, essentially your not wrong.

[@nurnajihah492]

Thank you so much...now I know how to use structure!

[@kaal4143]

How use structure...?

[@1415gatewayable]

:0 mind blow... i actually understood, do you have a channel?

[@Patrico2k6]

great Job, You made it so simple and easy to understand .. thx

[@triptomoon9870]

[@Yizak]

@SteakOfAnger char name[20] is an array of chars. He's using that to stick a load of characters together and form a name. :)

[@carlanthem]

Very well explained. Thanks so much💪✌

[@2testtest2]

If you have not figured it out yet, the last character needs to be a NULL character (often written \0 in text) so that the computer knows that the string ends there

[@uzairriaz8632]

Awesome Bro,You Know how to teach Well.

[@georgemendez6760]

Bucky you amazing person!

[@awsomguitarman]

they should give me my degree just for watching your vids. they are so helpful

[@zhir96]

thank you so much thenewboston you just make it so easy and fun to do :) thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@computerfis]

@golfguy777 You don't have to you can always put the "using namespace std" thing up there with the #include.... JUST make sure that the "using namespace std" is mentioned before you use cout and cin!

[@pippoMASO]

@DrAsTiK777 Because it's a const char, which is not supposed to be modified within the program. Strings are useful when you are supposed to modify them. I'm from Italy, I hope it's clear what I tried to tell you

[@zwigoda1]

is this the same syntax as visual studio 2010~2012 compilers? cause the way you filled the data to the newPerson bucky, was a bit diffrent than what i have seen. ohh and thanks so much for these and the python clips

[@Alonsoman4000]

Nice tutorial buddy, it helped me a lot!

[@sidrocksinthisworld]

when you declared the different variables associated with the structure eg. name and age, why did you use the variable name are the array but not the age? thanks for the tuts helping me a lot!

[@totasalam7060]

i really liked this video thank you very much

[@annihilationwave]

huh is this tutorial still my first. have i been dreaming all day

[@laserbeak43]

thanks for the refresher

[@ivyb1454]

what about i wanna make a program using structure but i will let the user input the information?

[@kishoregorijavolu1099]

Explained so well....

[@dmdrummer23]

I'm just starting to learn object oriented programming and Java, and I'm wondering : are there any specific times it would be better to use a structure instead of object? Or is struct just for smaller applications? -thanks

[@papano12]

What is the difference between a struct and a class? They seem to have the same meaning.

[@BROTHA_BLACK]

is it possible to use if statements with a struct

[@mateface1313]

Yes it is, you can write for example: if(newperson.age < 18) { cout

[@BROTHA_BLACK]

MateFace Thanks man you are a life saver!

[@mateface1313]

actually it would be like this! if(hoss.age < 18) { cout

[@thcbri]

@CheeseToastHax You are right it is a variable with a limit of 20 characters

[@CheeseToastHax]

@KamelineEinbein im not 100% sure but char is character which is 1 character and maybe the 20 makes it a limit of 20 characters.

[@papano12]

I understand this now, But What is the difference between Putting char name[20] and char name[67] , What effect does the number inside have on the program?

[@archaniel99x]

nice tut very helpful but i dont get 1 thing why put char name 20 why not put just int name? and why put that number 20 in brackets what it does?

[@golfguy777]

I know the program worked, but do you put the using namespace std line in the main function?

[@asterix1124]

char name[20] just means that there can be 20 elements in that array called "name" it can be any number you want.. but if you put it as 10 but have more elements entered it wouldn't work.. that's why when you tried it with 1 it didn't work because you entered more elements than you asked for... when you put in char name [1] but then entered gatewayable it wouldn't work because "gatewayable" has 11 characters when you declared that the array name can only have 1 character :)

[@JamesRCoston]

Hello thenewboston! Are structures simular to Classes?

[@TheFierceGaming]

Great tutorial!! I used this seed(tutorial) you gave me and made a tree(menu)!

[@lawenvy2388]

How if i swap the char name[20] into string data type instead, will it affect the program?

[@mhcomputeracademy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3iqp2WviJh8hZY

[@MrBrightSide622]

Just askin but why do u put "[20]" after "char name"? I've watched the past tutorials of C++ but I don't remember anything about putting a number after a character. (char)

[@HaZaRdxScopeZ]

whats the difference between this and class?

[@OfficialOceaneMusic]

What's the benefits/difference between having using namespace std in the main versus right underneath #include?

[@SplinteredChaos]

Can't find the source code on your website. The tutorial number is incorrect. I tried searching for struct at the tag line and came up empty.

[@Oreoboy101]

whats the difference between classes and structures?

[@premlatasuman3218]

4:51 why is bucky in inverted commas but 21 is not ??

[@carlisleee_]

it's because of the data type. A char with a size of 20 can be put in double quotes. An integer does not need quotes as the ide can figure out that it is an integer by being a whole number.

[@Tashi0106]

Is that a char array filled with a string?

[@supersayianz]

I have a question: wat if I am only allowed to use class instead of structures? Can it be still used?

[@LoganRWeber]

I've heard you say his name in the java tutorials so, who is Hoss?

[@BigletJohnson]

the number refers to the length of the char list

[@Olemassacre]

How can I use structures with the cin >> command?

[@dmdrummer23]

@RescueLoL alright, so i guess a struct is like a compromise between an object in a class, and a function? Thanks a lot!

[@khalsa403]

hey bucky i tried the program with strings instead of char and it wouldnt work...any idea why?

[@mbccq]

is using char name[] allowable because char only can allow to store one character

[@kateyy8800]

how about using do while loop with this program?

[@zyafi123]

when i tried to cout hoss's name, i only got hoss not hoss jones, how do you cout more than one word??? helpp?????

[@nithishvicraman6498]

Thanks bro this is really useful

[@abhishekraol4905]

What's the system("pause"); at the end for?

[@souljarohill8795]

structs are basically like classes

[@riseandrule]

Am I wrong if I think this looks more like creating your own Class in JAVA?

[@KingTut.]

why did you use CHAR instead of STRING for name?

[@jcsmith115]

Also when you use a struct object like bucky it becomes the type of the object variable you use. So bucky.age is an int and you can treat it as one. So bucky.age + bucky.age = 42

[@valizeth4073]

So a struct is a mini class?

[@parkerbiskup8458]

Vali Zeth no, the real difference is the private and public restrictions on the members

[@vxern2443]

Good tutorial but your code is messy af

[@DanielHauser]

@nishadaboobacker Not really, Windows is written mostly in C :P

[@nagendrra6609]

awsome tutorial thank you man =D

[@jony1710]

can i make arrays from the new data type that i make form my structure eg: struct newperson {int age; char name; }; and then in the main: newperon = person [5]; then I can save an array for 5 people using that structure? it doesn't seam to work for me.

[@Hwyadylaw]

He uses it as examples. This will be useful late for other things.

[@Brixpascito]

is there a way to pass a structure on a function I'm having a hard time for making a code like those

[@alchemitch]

when you declare a char with say [20] all that does is tells the computer that you want to have 19 spaces to put a name into (the extra space is used by the computer). i hope that helps :P

[@amyo]

Bucky for president

[@iZenic]

****************HELP PLEASE ANSWER******************* I dont understand (at 2:10 ) what the "20" is for after the "char name" I went back to your tutorials but i couldn't find anything. PLEASE ANSWER.
