an array of people using structs in c?

Question

I need to create an array of persons whilst using a struct something like this :-

typedef struct Person

{
     int age;      //needs to be randomly generated
     int height;   //needs to be randomly generated
     int weight;   //needs to be randomly generated
} Person;

but im not sure how to do this with an array like :-

Person[0]

Person[1]

Person[2]

Any tips will be great!!

`Person people[N]` to allocate in automatic memory or `Person *people = malloc(N * sizeof *persons)` for dynamic. — Niklas B., Apr 28 '14 at 21:26
Your struct would be like `Person persons[10];` and to access `persons[0].age = 10;` (and so on for the other elements of the struct). — AntonH, Apr 28 '14 at 21:27

typedef struct Person
{
     int age;      //needs to be randomly generated
     int height;   //needs to be randomly generated
     int weight;   //needs to be randomly generated
} Person;

// Create an array of 5 Persons
Person persons[5];

// Set the data of the first person.
person[0].age = 25;
person[0].height = 175; // in cm
person[0].weight = 68; // in kg
