Dynamic structure

[rajeshkanumuru]

I need a structure to create dynamically at run time through the user input. The input will be given at run time through the key board.
Is it possible to create a structure at run time through c language?
For reference follow the link given below.

A structure is part of the code. There is no code at run time. Therefore, you cannot create a struct at runtime.

Instead what you do is define a struct in the code and then use malloc() at runtime to create an instance of the struct dynamically.

Read up on this since you are responsible for deleting anything you create at runtime.

struct Data
{
   ....your members go here...
 
};
 
In main():
 
Data* ptr = 0;
 
ptr = malloc(sizeof Data);
 

Now use ptr to access the struct members.
