In this program, a structure Distance is defined. The structure has two members inch (a float) and feet (an integer).
Two variables (d1 and d2) are created which stores two distances (in inch and feet). Then, the sum of two distances is stored in sumOfDistances structure and displayed on the screen.
First understand the algorithm carefully. Then study the program line-by-line and compare it with the output. Finally, review the explanation section to strengthen your logic and programming understanding.
Rewrite the program without looking at the code. Modify values, conditions or logic and run it again. This helps improve confidence and strengthens coding skills much faster.
