Structs

A struct is a C++ construct that allows an object to consist of one or more component objects.

Struct Definition

    struct struct-name
    {
        type    name;
        type    name;
          :       :
        type    name;
    };

Struct Member Access Operators
- Dot Operator (.)
  - A reference to a struct member has the form
```
    object-name.member-name
```
- Arrow Operator (->)
  - A reference to a struct member has the form
```
    pointer-name->member-name
```
  - This is equivalent to (*pointer-name).member-name
Example - The point Struct - point.h, point.cpp.
Example - The complex Struct - complex.h, complex.cpp.
