C++

EMP; E1;E2;E3;

You cannot declare variables as void types. The compiler has no way of telling what data you expect them to contain.

And the following line does not mean anything.

C++

EMP; E1;E2;E3;

If you want to declare three variables of type EMP you need something like:

C++

EMP E1, E2, E3;

But you should not be putting one part of the class into each variable. The correct code would be:

C++

    EMP  E1;
   // printf("%lu",sizeof(E1));
    printf("Enter Employee Id");
    scanf("%d",&E1.empid);
    
    printf("Enter Employee name: ");
    gets(E1.empname); // use empname here
    
    printf("Enter Employee Salary");
    scanf("%ld",&E1.salary); // 'ld' for long value, and salary for the variable name

// You now need some code here to process the employee entry.

Solution 2

In addition to Richards comments:

C

typedef struct employee;
{         // error [ expecter identifier or'(' ]
    int empid;
    char empname[30];
    long salary;
}EMP;

Remove the semicolon: it terminates the typedef definition.

C

typedef struct employee
{         
    int empid;
    char empname[30];
    long salary;
}EMP;

Yeah, I forgot about the first semi-colon.

A working (albeit not robust) version of your code:

C

#include<stdio.h>
  
typedef struct employee
{
    int id;
    char name[30];
    long salary;
} EMP;

int main()
{
  EMP employee;

  printf("size of the EMP struct: %lu\n",sizeof(employee));

  printf("Enter Employee Id: ");
  scanf("%d", &employee.id);

  printf("Enter Employee Name: ");
  scanf("%s",employee.name);

  printf("Enter Employee Salary: ");
  scanf("%ld",&employee.salary);

  printf("Employee { id = %d, name = %s, salary = %ld}\n", employee.id, employee.name, employee.salary);

  return 0;
}
