// WRONG WAY TO INITIALIZE A STRUCT OBJECT #2: plain (old) initializer
// Define a struct type called 'struct Point' having two fields: x and y (both type int).
struct Point {
int y;
int x;
char* name;
}; // DO NOT FORGET SEMICOLON
void print_point(struct Point p) {

// struct Point p1 = { .name = "BHEE 170", .x = 1, .y = 70 }; // named initializer
// WRONG - gcc will allow this but it is more error prone.
struct Point p1 = { 1, 70, "BHEE 170" };
// Reason #1: Requires remembering order of fields in the struct type definition.
// Reason #2: Changing order of fields in struct type definition makes other code wrong.
