But there are still many differences between C struct & C++ struct. 1) C structure can't contain functions means only data members are allowed, but structure in C++ can have both functions & data members. 2) struct keyword is necessary in C to create structure type variable, but it is redundant & not necessary in C++. 3) Size of empty structure is undefined behavior in C, but it is always 1 in C++. 4) Structure in C can't have static members, but C++ structure can have static members. For example following program fails in compilation in C but compiles fine in C+ read less

1. Only variables of different data types can be declared, functions are not allowed 2. Direct access to data members is possible 3. ‘struct’ data type is not treated as built in type -- use of ‘struct’ necessary to declare objects 4. Member variables cannot be initialized inside a structure

In C structure only data can be defined whereas in C++ both data and functions can be added to structures. C++ structures can act as classes except that structure functions are always public.
