You can pass a structure to a function either by value or by reference. When passed by value, a copy of the structure is created. When passed by reference, the function receives a pointer to the structure.

Example of passing by value:

void displayEmployee(struct Employee emp) {
   printf("ID: %d\n", emp.empId);
   printf("Name: %s\n", emp.empName);
   printf("Salary: %.2f\n", emp.empSalary);
}

// Calling the function
displayEmployee(emp1);
 

Example of passing by reference:

void displayEmployee(struct Employee *emp) {
   printf("ID: %d\n", emp->empId);
   printf("Name: %s\n", emp->empName);
   printf("Salary: %.2f\n", emp->empSalary);
}

// Calling the function
displayEmployee(&emp1);
