Derived Data Types in C Language

Derived data types in C Programming Language are those C data types which are derived from the fundamental data types using some declaration operators.

Now, in this tutorial we will be discussing each of these derived data types in brief as we will again come across these topics in the next coming up sections.

1. Arrays:
Arrays can be defined as a set of finite and homogeneous data elements. Each element of an array is referenced using an index.

For example:
If we the name of an array is AR which have 5 elements then the array will be represented as :
AR[0], AR[1], AR[2], AR[3], AR[4]
