This program is giving an error that name is outside aggregate initializer so how can we remove it?

Question

#include <stdio.h>

struct student {
int age;
int grade;
char name[40];
};

int main() {
struct student s1 = { .grade = 9, .age = 19, .name = "John Birghimer"};

printf("Name: %s, Age: %d, Grade: %d\n", s1.name, s1.age, s1.grade);

return 0;
}

Answer 1

Now I understand that you are getting a C++ compiler error on C code due to differences with structs between C and C++.

Is your intention to convert the C code to run as a C++ program? If so, then I should defer to others here who have more DEV C++ experience. In the meantime, I will have to study and learn about this, myself.

Answer 2

The program worked perfectly for me when using the C compiler. Were you trying to compile it under C# (noting the c#struct keyword tag)?

Answer 3

I am talking about dev c compiler, in dev c this program is not working
