C Function return structure

Function returning structure:

• A function can return the structure type.
• We need to specify the structure type as return type.
• It returns the base address of structure memory block.
• We collect the returned address into same type of structure variable in the calling function.
• The program as follows:

#include<stdio.h>
struct Emp
{
	int no;
	char name[20];	
	float salary;
};
struct Emp read();
int main()
{
	struct Emp y;
	y = read();
	printf("Name : %s\n", y.name);
	return 0;	
}
struct Emp read()
{
	struct Emp x;
	printf("Enter Emp details : \n");
	scanf("%d%s%f", &x.no, x.name, &x.salary);
	return x;	
}
