tures. A structure is a data storage type designed by you, the programmer, to
suit your programming needs exactly. Today you will learn:- What simple and complex structures are
- How to define and declare structures
- How to access data in structures
- How to create structures that contain arrays and arrays of structures
- How to declare pointers in structures and pointers to structures
- How to pass structures as arguments to functions
