 Arrays
Collection of similar data types together
 Functions
Named group of programs that perform
specific task
Black box

}
 Composite Data type
More than one data type into single entity
In C structures
struct student{
int rollno;
string name;
string dept;
}
In C++, Java Class
class student{
int rollno;
string name;
string dept;
}
