What are custom types in C++?

Custom types in C++ are user-defined data types that allow you to create complex data structures.

Can you give me an example of a custom type?

Sure! A common example is a struct, which can group different data types together. For instance, a struct for a Book might include a title, author, and number of pages.

How do I define a struct in C++?

You can define a struct using the struct keyword followed by the name and its members. For example:

struct Book {
    std::string title;
    std::string author;
    int pages;
};

Can I create methods for my custom types?

Yes, you can define methods within a class, which is similar to a struct but allows for encapsulation and access control.
