Array of Structures?

for example I have an array of structures

typedef struct{
int nSeeds;
float fHeight;
}structFlower

typedef stuctFlower arrFlower[5];

can I do this? (provided they have initial values)

main()
{
arrFlower aRose, aOrchid;

aRose[1]=aOrchid[0];
}

will aRose[1].nSeeds be equal to aOrchid[0].nSeeds?

Yes. Contrary to what the previous responder said, structure assignment, as shown in your example, is valid in ANSI C.

No, it's not possible in C. You have to assign all of the struct members individually. In C++ (even though this is off topic), you could overload the assignment operator on a class to allow this.

However, in C, you could work around this by using a memset() of the first struct to the second struct. I wouldn't recommend it. Better to make a function to copy the first to the second if your goal is readability.

void flowerCopy(structFlower *from, structFlower *to) {

to->nSeeds = from->nSeeds;
to->fHeight = from->fHeight;

return;
}
