Structure Help

[Pie]

In this program, i need to input student particulars eg. Name, sex, exam results.
So i have used structure to input information with the help of functions. However the information is only kept temporary on that particular function and if i prompt for it outside the funtion, it will give a wrong output. The code which i did are as follows and i will trully appreciate if some kind soul will help.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;


struct student{
string name;
int age;
string sex;
};


void inf(student a);
void display(student a);



int main()
{
    student a;



    inf(a);
    display(a);



    return 0;
}




void inf(student a){



    cout<<"Enter name: "<<endl;
    cin>>a.name;

    cout<<"Enter age: "<<endl;
    cin>>a.age;


    cout<<"Enter sex: "<<endl;
    cin>>a.sex;



}


void display(student a){


    cout<<a.age<<endl;



}

You need to pass your struct variable either a reference or pointer to the functions.
