C structures contain only data members where as c++ structure contains both data members and member functions as well.

They are different. C struct can only contain data while C++ struct can contain functions and access limitation such as public private etc just as a class (not totally the same as class!)

RE: Difference between "C structure" and "C++ structur...

C++ and C structs are REALLY different

1)C++ structs are like C++ class except the default access for struct is public v/s class is private

2) C struct can have integral data type only unlike C++ struct that can also have member functions

3) C struct cannot have access scope like public private protected but C++ struct can.

4) struct A{ int i int j } ; typedef A A1; typedef needed for C struct and not required for C++ A can be directly accessed.

RE: Difference between "C structure" and "C++ structure".

Difference between 'C structure' and 'C++ structure' is that the structure in case of 'C' will only hold data definition whereas structure in 'C++' will contain both data definition and functions.

RE: Difference between "C structure" and "C++ structure".

C does not have limitation access. Structures in C are used to regroup data from different types.

In C++ structure have limitation access propreties (private public protected) with public access as default can contain methods and can be used as a class.
