+# Struct
+not a calss
+- class like *composite data type* called struct
+- POD plain old data
+
+## declare
+```
+struct <name>{
+	<type><name>;
+	<type><name>;
+} <variable>;
+
+struct point_2d {
+	double x;
+	double y;
+} point;
+```
+
+typically an anonymous struct is declared and then given a name with typedef
+
+```
+typedef struct {
+	double x;
+	double y;
+} point_2d;
+```
+
+This is the common convention now.
+
+## initalize
+```
+point_2d location = {0.0, 1.0}; //initalizers
+point_2d location = {.y = 1.0, .x = 0.0}; //designated initalizers
+```
+
+## accessing
+use the `.`
+
+```
+point_2d location;
+
+location.x = 0;
+location.y = 1;
+```
+
+## shallow copy
+copy the members including pointers
+- but not the things the pointers point to
+
+![shallow copy example 1](https://i.imgur.com/w3B3ce0.png)
+![shallow copy example 2](https://i.imgur.com/mL5QION.png)
+
+ both point to the same memory location.
+when you change one - they both change.
+
+## passing to routines
+passed by value
+
+```
+void print(thing object)
+```
