Struct in c++

Question

Edit:

i just learning socket for c++ from

http://www.bogotobogo.com/cplusplus/sockets_server_client.php

in bind function, the second argument is (struct socaddr *) server_addr.

what is that? how is it possible struct is in argument?

i confuse. what i know, the difference between class and struct is struct automatically public for all member

Answer 1

i will learn more of them. thanks for you guys for the hint

Answer 2

@<p> Kevin</p> the link is invalid my friend, I got error 404 for that link, server down?

If I'm not mistaken it means the server_addr will be casted into a pointer of a structure of sockaddr, which then can be accessed like an object (structures has members like classes) with arrow member access (->).

Sorry I can't help much, haven't learned socket yet, and if my answer is incorrect please notify so I can fix it : )
