### Structs Structs organize and group variables in a container so that they're easily accessible by a single pointer. As in other languages, creating objects is extremely helpful in keeping your abstractions clean! Let's analyze the code - We can declare a struct type by using the `struct name {fields}` syntax. - To access fields of a struct value, we can use the `.` syntax. - To access fields of a struct pointer, we have two choices - We can dereference the pointer to get a struct value and then use the `.` notation - Or we can use the arrow notation `->` to quickly do the first option - The arrow notation is probably the cleaner and quicker method - When we pass struct values into functions (such as `modify1`), they are copied -

This means any changes we make to that struct are not reflected in the original struct

- When we pass struct pointers into functions (such as `modify2`), the original struct may be modified -

Since we have a pointer, we can go to the location of the struct and modify that struct
