Chapter 9.2, Problem 9.6CP

Program Plan Intro

Structure:

• In C#, the group of several variables is known as a structure where a structure is a user defined data type.
• struct keyword is used to create a structure.
• Syntax:

  struct structName

  {

  }

• Structure declaration does not consume any memory; it just tells the compiler what the structure is made of.
• Structures may contain fields, where those fields contain variables or/and methods.
• Before bringing the structure to store data in use, an instance of the structure in memory has to be created.
• Syntax:

StructureName = new StructureName();

• Creating a structure instance with the use of new operator creates an instance in memory and also initializes the object’s fields with the default value of “0”.
• It is necessary to create an instance as they are used to access the stored data.
• “=” operator is used to the value of one structure object to another.
