What does the variable array name at the end of the structure's definition means?

Question

I've already read this, this and this but it seems they're not exactly my situtation.

I have a code like this

struct ppl_weight {
    uint16_t weight;
    uint8_t weightHour;

} ppl_weightList[16];

but I can't understand the array at the end of the struct. What does it mean? Have I an array of 16 struct? How does I manage this data type?

Answer 1

It is a declaration of an array with 16 elements of the type struct ppl_weight. You could split this declaration

struct ppl_weight {
    uint16_t weight;
    uint8_t weightHour;

} ppl_weightList[16];

the following way

struct ppl_weight {
    uint16_t weight;
    uint8_t weightHour;

};

struct ppl_weight ppl_weightList[16];
