What are Structs

Structs in C

A structure is a set of variables of different data types, united under one common name.

In other words, structures allow you to create your own data types that are “cobbled together” from other data types, for example:

Note
Those who have already taken our “C++ OOP” course might have noticed something in common between a structure and a class.

One of the key benefits of using structures is the ability to create complex hierarchical data structures. It is important to note that structures allow you to group variables that have a common context or relationship with each other. This allows programmers to logically organize data, making the code clearer and more readable.
