structs

A struct is the closest thing to a oop object you have in c.

When you pass a pointer to a struct in a c program, you access it by dereferencing it. a->b := (*a).b

from w3 schools

// Create a structure called myStructure
struct myStructure {
  int myNum;
  char myLetter;
};

int main() {
  // Create a structure variable of myStructure called s1
  struct myStructure s1;

  // Assign values to members of s1
  s1.myNum = 13;
  s1.myLetter = 'B';

  // Print values
  printf("My number: %d\n", s1.myNum);
  printf("My letter: %c\n", s1.myLetter);

  return 0;
}

alternatively from st

typedef struct {
    int mode;
    int type;
    int snap;
    /*
     * Selection variables:
     * nb – normalized coordinates of the beginning of the selection
     * ne – normalized coordinates of the end of the selection
     * ob – original coordinates of the beginning of the selection
     * oe – original coordinates of the end of the selection
     */
    struct {
        int x, y;
    } nb, ne, ob, oe;

    int alt;
} Selection;

int
main(void)
{
    sel.mode = SEL_IDLE;
    sel.ob.x = -1;
    tsetdirt(sel.nb.y, sel.ne.y);
}

A struct is like creating a composite datatype.

look at this example

typedef struct {
    Vector2 position;
    float speed;
    bool canJump;
} Player;

This code is defining what a Player is and then initializing a variable with datatype Player, called cloud
