Structures in C

A structure is a way of grouping together one or more variables of different data types, such as integers, floats, and characters, under a single name to make it more convenient to handle. This helps in organizing data, particularly in large programs, as it allows a set of related variables to be treated as a single entity. After the structure is defined, a variable of that type can be created. In some programming languages, structures are called records, and their components are referred to as fields, members, or components. The process of declaring a structure involves defining its name and specifying its members.
