Structures explained please

[remy]

Hi,
Could someone explain in plain english what structures are for and how they work as I need to use it in an assignement and later on in programs.
Thank you
Remy

Surely if you need them in your assignment then your teacher had gone over them in class... or did you miss that one Check out this MSDN Article over Structures:

Thanks Gigemboy,
Very usefull. It does make a bit more sense.
By the way I'm doing a distance learning course with books and exercises.
We can ask the tutors online but that is only form 9 to 5 monday to friday and since I work all day most days (I'm a chef) it is a bit hard to talk to them.
Thanks again
Remy

Gig's example is heavyduty and probably the best. For the basics you can also check http://www.startvbdotnet.com/oop/structure.aspx
It's a nice site and covers many topics. Try to make a recipe structure with fields like cooking time, temperature, incredients and then describe different meals.

Do you really need to pay for a "distance learning course" and not just for the books and exercises? A simple Step by Step book form MS does the same thing, except for the part where there are tutors whom you cannot ask.

If this is for college credit, then probably so, or else he won't get the credit

Thanks for the help guys but I did not post this thread to be judge on my choice of study but to get help on a specific subject.
Thank you
