Struct Constructor in C++?

Question

Can a `struct` have a constructor in C++? I have been trying to solve this problem but I am not getting the syntax.

Answer 1

Here ya go

=======================================================

using namespace std;

#include <iostream>

typedef struct _TDataRec

{

int X; // data members of a structure are PUBLIC default

float amt; // while data members of a class are PRIVATE by default

//constructor

_TDataRec( int x, float Amt)

{

X = x; amt = Amt;

}

} *TDataRec; //declare pointer to structure

int main()

{

struct _TDataRec myDataRec(7, 3.333f ); //calls the constructor

TDataRec dataRecPtr = &myDataRec; //points at it

std::cout << dataRecPtr->X << " " << dataRecPtr->amt << endl; // 7 3.333

}
