Why does C need “struct” keyword and not C++?

Question

I\'ve always been a little confused about what\'s going on here:

#include 

int main() {  
    timeval tv;
    tv.tv_sec = 1;

    for (;;) {
         


        

Answer 1

The way C does it came first, of course. Structs and classes in C++ are nearly identical, and it would have been very inconvenient to require class with every class variable so it was simplified for both.
