Answer / vignesh1988i
1st :
FUNCTIONS :
these are derived data types
STRUCTURES :
these are user defined datatypes
2nd :
FUNCTIONS :
function returns a value
STRUCTURES :
structures is not a function but only a datatype which returns no value.
3rd :
FUNCTIONS :
function does not have a provision of self referencial pointers.
STRUCTURES :
in this we can make one data member as a pointer to the same structure. that is self referencial structures.
4th :
FUNCTIONS :
function s consists of formal as well as actual arguments.
STRUCTURES :
here structures is a special datatype which holds all the possible form of data (i.e) int, char,float,double ,in combination s.
5th :
FUNCTIONS :
functions are reusable anytime and anywhere in the program, whenever we wann to re-use the code again we can simply call the function.
STRUCTURES :
but in structures we can do as above,we must access the data using '.' or when comes to pointers we must access through '->' operator
this are the statements that to my knowledge can said as difference... BUT STRUCTURES CANNOT BE COMPARED WITH FUNCTION SINCE, TWO ARE INDEPENDENT TO EACH OTHER.

Functions:
a)used to separate the task which would run frequently
b)run seperately the frequent task whenever calling that
frequent task and then returned its value to the fucntion
who called this.
c)would decrease the complexity of code and helps to debug
easier.
d)also it can be used as a library fucntion.
Structure:
declaring different types of variables and functions under
single name.

Answer / s.s gill
function: in function we can have different data types and can perform different operation according to our need. a function once created can be called anytime in given program.
Structure: in structure we can only assign data types to different variables that are to be used in our program. we cannot perform any operation inside a structure.
this is the major difference between function and structure
