I am only able to understand this article due to my backround in C, not all readers are programmers.</br>—<small>'''[[User:Sowlos|Sowlos]]'''</small> 10:00, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

:In what situation would a non-programmer would need to know what a C struct is? There's no doubt a summary at the top could help though. [[User:Kupiakos|Kupiakos]] ([[User talk:Kupiakos|talk]]) 20:48, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

::As a Java and Python programmer who has never worked with C, I find this article difficult to understand. I think the biggest reason is that the explanation is almost entirely in code (which is difficult to understand if you aren't familiar with C syntax), and it lacks a high level description of what a struct is for and more importantly ''why'' anybody would want to use one. I think it would also be helpful to draw parallels between it and similar concepts in other constructslanguages. I get the impression that this is maybe like Java's Enum type, but the article doesn't say what languages use structs, aside from C, and what equivalencies, if any, exist in other languages. -[[User:Thunderforge|Thunderforge]] ([[User talk:Thunderforge|talk]]) 20:05, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
