in C and C++ you can create composite data types with struct

struct Student {                       
                char name[20];            // student name 
                int age;                   // student age 
                int course_code;        // institutions course code 
                int course_year;        // year of course 
                };

a struct can only contain data members.
In C++ the aggregate type class (an extension of the idea of struct) enables users to define their own types each of which is an encapsulation of:
(a) data members (fundamental types and derived types, e.g. arrays, structures, classes, etc.),
and (b) function and operator members which operate upon the data.

You have to use typedef in C or else you define your structures using
struct MyStructure s; but in C++ you can jusy say MyStructure s;

In C: structure is just data container.

In C++: structure is almost identical to class. There is only one difference between structure and class in C++ : data members in structure are by default public, and in class they are by default private.

Thanks.
