C Program to Store Data in Structures Dynamically

This program asks the user to store the value of noOfRecords and allocates the memory for the noOfRecords structure variables dynamically using the malloc() function.

Demonstrate the Dynamic Memory Allocation for Structure

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct course {
  int marks;
  char subject[30];
};

int main() {
  struct course *ptr;
  int noOfRecords;
  printf("Enter the number of records: ");
  scanf("%d", &noOfRecords);

  // Memory allocation for noOfRecords structures
  ptr = (struct course *)malloc(noOfRecords * sizeof(struct course));
  for (int i = 0; i < noOfRecords; ++i) {
    printf("Enter subject and marks:\n");
    scanf("%s %d", (ptr + i)->subject, &(ptr + i)->marks);
  }

  printf("Displaying Information:\n");
  for (int i = 0; i < noOfRecords; ++i) {
    printf("%s\t%d\n", (ptr + i)->subject, (ptr + i)->marks);
  }

  free(ptr);

  return 0;
}

Output

Enter the number of records: 2
Enter subject and marks:

Enter subject and marks:
