Ok, so this is how I understand what a struct is, if I am wrong, I hope someone corrects me.

Here is a metaphor: Think of a way to define a fruit. It is sweet and there are seeds. Now you have two attributes to define the fruit instead of the just normal way of just being a string or an int.

typedef struct{
 string seeds;
 string sweetness;
} Fruit;

And now, instead of it being string *banana, its Fruit banana, which now you have access to the seeds and sweetness. Hope that makes sense
