Initializing a struct using a macro

Question

I've been searching and can't find anything. Consider this structure

typedef struct student
{
    char name[40];
    char grade;
}Student;

how do I make a macro for initializing a structure with parameters? Something along the lines of

Student John = STUDENT(John, A); 

where STUDENT is a defined macro

Answer 1

#define STUDENT(name, grade) { #name, grade }

Then Student John = STUDENT(John, 'A'); would be expanded into

Student John = { "John", 'A' };
