In programming, variables like int or char can only store one value of a specific type. Arrays allow you to store many values, but all must be of the same type. However, real-world data often involves related items of different types. For example, a student's record may include a name (text), roll number (number), and grade (character).

Structures in C let you combine different types of data into a single unit. This makes it easier to handle complex information, such as a student record, by grouping all related data together. You can also create arrays of structures to manage multiple records at once. This experiment will show you how to define, use, and access structures in C.

The aim of the experiment is to understand how to use structures in C programming to group different types of data under a single name, and to learn how structures help organize and manage related information efficiently.
