struct
Composite data type
A struct is a data structure in programming that groups related variables under a single name.
Unlike arrays, structs can hold different data types together—a struct for a person might contain a string for name, an integer for age, and a float for height.
Common in C, C++, and similar languages: Define a struct to hold the coordinates.
In languages with classes, structs typically lack methods and inheritance, serving as simple data containers.
