Array of structures

Rekop

Trying to create an array of structs that stores 4 peoples info and prints it out in a loop:

struct Person{
         char name[20];
         int age;
         float height;
         };
         
         
         struct Person beatle[4];

I know I created 4 instances with beatle[4]; but I'm not sure how to edit the information individualy

i.e struct Person beatle[1] = {"John Lennon"};

Thanks and strictly C only

Well there's two primary ways depending on whether you're using a pointer or not as follows;

struct Person p1;
struct Person * p2ptr;

...

p1.age = 32;
p1.height = 3.43;

p2ptr->age = 21;
p2ptr->height = 3.2;

EDIT: And using an array as you are above you use the following...

beatle[0].age = 32;
beatle[1].heigh = 4.2;

^^^^ as above and also if you wanted to initialise you can try
e.g.
Person beatle[1] = {"John Lennon", 44, 6.0};
