An array is a collection of items stored at contiguous memory locations. An array of structures in C can be defined as the collection of multiple structures variables where each variable contains information about different entities. The array of structures in C are used to store information about multiple entities of different data types. The array of structures is also known as the collection of structures.

The structure is a collection of variables of different types under a single name. Similarly, the structure is another user-defined data type available in C that allows combining data items of different kinds.

It can have different attributes of different data types. For example, an entity Student may have its name (string), roll number (int), marks (float).
