<p>new: info, example, other algebraic</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A &#039;&#039;&#039;struct&#039;&#039;&#039; is a &#039;&#039;&#039;user-defined&#039;&#039;&#039; [[data type]].<br /> <br /> It is a [[product type]] - a [[data type]] made by combining multiple [[Field|fields]] together into a single type.<br /> <br /> == Example: a &#039;Rectangle&#039; struct ==<br /> As structs store multiple different [[Field|fields]] in a single collection, we can make a &lt;code&gt;Rectangle&lt;/code&gt; struct like this (written in [[Rust]] for this example):&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;rust&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;<br /> struct Rectangle {<br /> width: u32,<br /> height: u32,<br /> color: Color,<br /> }<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;And our &lt;code&gt;Color&lt;/code&gt; struct could look like this, another [[product type]]:&lt;syntaxhighlight lang=&quot;rust&quot; line=&quot;1&quot;&gt;<br /> struct Color {<br /> red: u8,<br /> green: u8,<br /> blue: u8,<br /> alpha: u8,<br /> }<br /> &lt;/syntaxhighlight&gt;<br /> <br /> == Other algebraic data types ==<br /> Please see: [[Algebraic data type]]</div>
