Can you explain what is meant by 'structure' in the context of programming or computer science?

In programming, a struct is a user-defined data type that groups together several variables (fields) under a single name. Unlike classes, structs are typically used to store small sets of related data and are often value types.

For example, in C#, a struct can contain multiple fields of different types, combining them into a logical unit:

struct Point
{
    public int X;
    public int Y;
}

Here, Point is a struct with two integer fields X and Y, which can be used to represent the coordinates of a point.
