How to create a structure inside structure?

The usual way is to write code. What did you try and how didn't it
work?

[I'd do something like
struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; };

struct outer limits;
]

[I'd do something like
  struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; };

I think this nesting declaration of structure is not allowed in c.
compiling this declaration would generate an error.
Correct use would be as
struct inner
{
long tube;
}str1;
struct outer
{
int spoo;
str1 inn; //inner structure's object
};

Chris forgot the tag for the inner structure; it should be

  struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; foo };

It's a syntax error. It should be:

struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; } foo; };

struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; };

Chris forgot the tag for the inner structure; it should be

struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; foo };

Apart from that, it's legal.

Correct use would be as
struct inner
{
long tube;
}str1;
struct outer
{
int spoo;
str1 inn; //inner structure's object
};

This is also wrong! You should have

struct inner inn; // inner structure's object

or perhaps you meant to use typedef.

Isn't 'inner' the tag? Chris forgot the variable name.

struct outer { int spoo; struct inner { long tube; }; foo };

And you got it wrong too.

The member name, actually.

And you got it wrong too.

Yes Let's hope we have exhausted the possible mistakes here...

Argh! So I did.

There are more mistakes in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are
dreamt of in your philosophy. I think some of them live in my beard.

Rats! 'variable name' felt wrong somehow, but I couldn't remember the
correct term
