[sdiy] OT: questions on TYPEDEF STRUCT

[dan snazelle]

A little while back I asked the list a question that ended up in a discussion of STRUCT and since then I have learned what I can about it.

One of the things I keep running into is code where people convert a STRUCT like this


struct time
{ 
	int hour;
	int minutes;
	int seconds;
	
};


into this:

typedef struct time newTime

and then you use newTime instead of the struct time .


WHY?

Why is this better, etc..there must be problems with struct, right?

any info appreciated!

thanks
