The following declares an array named “numbers” which holds 1000 struct fraction’s.
struct fraction numbers[1000];
numbers[0].numerator = 22; /* set the 0th struct fraction */
numbers[0].denominator = 7;
Here’s a general trick for unraveling C variable declarations: look at the right hand side and imagine that it is an expression. The type of that expression is the left hand side. For the above declarations, an expression which looks like the right hand side (numbers[1000], or really anything of the form numbers[...]) will be the type on the left hand side (struct fraction).

“31 Every object in the language has a type, which characterizes a set of values and a set of applicable operations. The main classes of types are elementary types (comprising enumeration, numeric, and access types) and composite types (including array and record types).” —:Ada-Europe’s Ada Reference Manual: Introduction: Language Summary See legal information
“34/2 Composite types allow definitions of structured objects with related components. The composite types in the language include arrays and records. … A record is an object with named components of possibly different types.” —:Ada-Europe’s Ada Reference Manual: Introduction: Language Summary See legal information
“35 Record, task, and protected types may have special components called discriminants which parameterize the type. Variant record structures that depend on the values of discriminants can be defined within a record type.” —:Ada-Europe’s Ada Reference Manual: Introduction: Language Summary See legal information
“18. A program without a loop and a structured variable isn’t worth writing.” —Alan Perlis, Epigrams on Programming, ACM’s SIGPLAN Notices Volume 17, No. 9, September 1982, pages 7-13
Coding example: I am making heavily documented and explained open source code for a method to play music for free — almost any song, no subscription fees, no download costs, no advertisements, all completely legal. This is done by building a front-end to YouTube (which checks the copyright permissions for you).
