A structure is not a data type. A structure is more of a collection if data types that can be referenced conveniently. Mainly we humans can keep on top of it, the computer does not care.
struct foo
{
int a;
long b;
float c;
char d[512];
int *e;
};
A data structure is a collection of more than one elementary item, in some kind of aggregate organization. An array is a type of structure where more than one item of the same type are arranged serially in memory, and accessed using an index. The item can either be an elementary type or it itself can be a structure type. A struct (not to be confused with the use of "structure" in this answer) is a type of structure where more than one item of the same or different types are arranged serially in memory, and accessed using the structure member (.) operator. A union is similar to a struct, except that each member occupies the same address. This means that only one type of data can be stored at any one time in a union. A self-referential structure is a type of structure, usually constructed of simpler structures, linked together with some kind of pointer scheme. Examples of this are the linked list and tree.
Both of them is very important in programming.
struct tag_name { data type v1; data type v2; __________ __________ __________ }s1;
"Abstract Data Type"
stack data structure.
A data type (or datatype) in programming languages is an attribute of data that represents the kind and structure of the data. This involves setting constraints on the data, such as validity restrictions to values and the types of operations that may be performed upon it.
collection of dissimilar type of data is called non homogeneous data structure as for example structure .

yes, a structure is a user-made data type so that user can manipulate multiple data types simultaneously. a structure covers up sum limitation of arrays as in it provides heterogenous data type.
A complex data structure is the kind of structure that has two arrays. One array hols the real part of the complex data and the other array holds the imaginary part.

No such thing exist in C but you can do this using structure data type and creating arrary of it object there after!!
it is in sequence,a chain kind of thing
