Master the essentials of C++ structures and enumerations. Learn how to define, use, and combine structs and enums to model real-world data, and practice with hands-on coding tasks.

Explore the basics of structs in C++, including their syntax, initialization, and how they differ from classes.

Delve into more complex struct scenarios, including nesting and arrays.

Discover how enums provide named constants and how to use them effectively.
