Definition

STRUCT

Structs are datatypes, able to contain variables of all datatypes.

To address a member of a struct, use the "." operator: <structname>.<membername>. Like all datatypes, one can have a whole range of them, as displayed in the example.

Example

Structs can be handy for many aspects of programming.

Multiple identical data groups

Struct Ship[9]
    int x;
    int y;
    int speed;
    int angle;
End

There are 10 'Ship's now. The data can be accessed like:

Ship[0].speed++;
Ship[8].angle = 0;

Grouping of variables

This is for clarity and to avoid colliding variable names.

Struct Fileinfo
    String name;
    String path;
End

Note that the struct fileinfo is a predefined global variable.

This example can also be done by defining your own type.
