TASK #1:
What are structures? What is the purpose of using structures?
SOLUTION:
Structure is a user-defined datatype in C/C++ language which allows us to combine data of different types
together. Structure helps to construct a complex data type which is more meaningful. It is somewhat like
an Array, but an array holds data of similar type only.
Task #2:
What are benefits of using the structures and what are the applications?
SOLUTION:
Structures provide better performance when we have small collections of value-types that you want to
group together. A structure is used to represent information about something more complicated than a
single number. structure can store different data types element like double, int, float, char.
TASK #3:
Write a program that declares a structure to store Name, Roll_no, marks and
section of a student. The program should define a structure variable, input values of
two students and then display their values.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

struct student
{
