2 Data Types
Element-by-element organization is not the best structure array choice for
most image processing applications; however, it can be the best for other
applications wherein you will routinely need to access corresponding subsets
of structure fields. The example in the following section demonstrates this
type of application.
Example — A Simple Database
Consider organizing a simple database.
Each of the possible organizations has advantages depending on how you
want to access the data:
• Plane organization makes it easier to operate on all field values at once.
For example, to find the average of all the values in the amount field,
