Struct Concepts
📦 Data Bundling
Structs let you group related data together, like putting items in a labeled box.
🎯 Member Access
Use the dot operator (.) to access struct members: person.age, car.year
📏 Memory Layout
Struct fields are stored sequentially in memory with specific offsets and sizes.
🔄 Pass by Value
When you pass structs to functions, the entire struct is copied (unless using pointers).
