I've noticed something interesting. I want to make sure of it and discuss about it:

These two are not the same:



    typedef struct str_type structure
    struct str_type{
       int x;
       int y;
       unsigned int z;
       uint8_t ui;
    };
    //-----------------------
    typedef struct str_type{
       int x;
       int y;
       unsigned int z;
       uint8_t ui;
    } structure;

In the first case by writing structure, we actually write struct str_type. In the second case by writing structure, we are actually writing a whole daclaration 



    struct str_type{
       int x;
       int y;
       unsigned int z;
       uint8_t ui;
    }
