+<p>
+The <b>struct</b> keyword was introduced in 'C', its original functionality
+is documented
+<a href=../../C/SYNTAX/struct.html>here.</a>
+<p>
+
+C++ has added two new features to structures.
+<ol>
+<li>The syntax has been improved slightly so you no longer have to
+ mess around with <a href=../../C/SYNTAX/typedef.html>typedef</a> statements.

+ typedef struct Person {int age; char *name} Person_t;
+
+ struct Person FirstMan;

+
+<li>C++ also took the original idea of structures and added the ability to
+ associate functions with the data within the structure. This feature
+ was wrapped up with the introduction of the
+ <a href="class.html">class</a> keyword.
