How to use a struct inside another struct?

Question

I want to use a nested structure but i dont know how to enter data in it, for example:

struct A {
    int data;
    struct B;
};
struct B {
    int number;
};

Each member variable of a struct generally has a name and a type. In your code, the first member of A has type int and name data. The second member only has a type. You need to give it a name. Let's say b:

struct A {
  int data;
  B b;
};

To do that, the compiler needs to already know what B is, so declare that struct before you declare A.

To access a nested member, refer to each member along the path by name, separated by .:

A stage;
stage.b.number = 5;
