Copy the following files from the path /home/sharing to your home directory:

lab8_question.c
states.txt
a.out

lab8_question.c is an incomplete version of the program whose compiled output is a.out. This incomplete program contains the type definitions of the structures DATE and STATE and the definition of the function getData().

You can now see the output of the program by running:

./a.out < states.txt

When passing a structure variable to a function (by mentioning its name), only its address is passed - just as the case with arrays.

A structure can have members of different data types.

Which is the only operator (besides the member of and pointer dereferencing operator) that works with structure variables?

typedef struct stud {

} PLAKSHAN;

What should be written in the missing part of the printf() statement (line 32) to complete the program correctly?

The above program uses a preprocessor constant in line number .

Using a preprocessor directive to define a constant is that if a change is made in one place, it is sufficient to have the change reflected in other parts of the program.
