The array worked there because it only had a few facts, but what if we wanted to add 100 facts? It would look very messy and hard to deal with. A struct helps solves this problem by moving the array to an independent file. This also allows us to add functions to the struct if we want to perform certain operations on the data, like randomly selecting an element.
