Is it necessary to create a separate object instance when copying a structure in memory?

In Swift, structures (struct) are value types. When a structure is copied in memory, a separate instance with its own set of data is created. This means that changing the copy will not affect the original.

Example:

struct Point {
    var x: Int
    var y: Int
}

var p1 = Point(x: 0, y: 0)
var p2 = p1 // creates a copy of p1
p2.x = 10
print(p1.x) // 0
print(p2.x) // 10

Thus, copying a structure creates a separate instance of the object in memory.
