Answer / kirankumar
Array takes data types of same kind where as structure takes
any kind.
Ex:int n[5];/* one d array
int n[10][10];/* two d array
int n[10][10][10];/* multi d array or jagged array
Structure takes following form:
struct class
{
cahr name;
int marks;
float sbuject[3];
}stuent[100];

Answer / chaudhary paresh
- Array elements are homogeneous. Structure elements are of
different data type.
- Array allocates static memory and uses index / subscript
for accessing elements of the array. Structures allocate
dynamic memory and uses (.) operator for accessing the
member of a structure.
- Array is a pointer to the first element of it. Structure
is not a pointer
- Array element access takes less time in comparison with
structures.

Answer / kirankumar
Array is used to represent a group of data items that
belongs to the same type or kind.
int a[5];
i.e a[0],a[1],a[2],a[3],a[4].
all a values are integer types.
If we want to represent data items of different types using
a single name is called strucute.
Ex:struct book
{
char title[20];
int pages;
float price;
};
