Also, since this is true, there's no need for the tip on typedeffing the struct. Both of these were tricks used in C, but have no use in C++ An example: #include struct A_Struct{ int some_var; }; int main(){ A_Struct str; str.some_var = 255; std::cout << str.some_var << std::endl; return 0; } There is no longer any need to declare a variable as ‘struct var;’, the ‘struct’ should be dropped. Also, since this is true, there’s no need for the tip on typedeffing the struct. Both of these were tricks used in C, but have no use in C++

An example:

#include

struct A_Struct{
int some_var;
};

int main(){
A_Struct str;
str.some_var = 255;
std::cout << str.some_var << std::endl;
return 0;
}
