Initializing Structures

1. A structure can be initialized at the time it is declared by assigning it a list of member values separated by commas and enclosed in braces.
   
   
2. For example, with the structure type for the date:
   
   struct Date
   {
      int month;
      int day;
      int year;
   };
   
   a structure variable of type Date can be declared and initialized as follows:
   
   Date due_date = {12, 31, 2000};
   
   The first value in the list is assigned to the first member, the second value is assigned to the second member, etc.
