Structs
A struct is a simple container for named fields.
struct Person {
name: str
age: int
}A struct describes a shape of data - nothing more.
There is:
- no inheritance
- no hidden behavior
- no classes
- no constructors built in
Structs are intentionally simple.
Creating struct instances
Use the struct literal syntax:
alice: Person = Person {
name: "Alice",
age: 25
}Later, a positional form may be added, but named fields are the canonical form (most explicit, no ambiguity).
Accessing fields
print(alice.name) // Alice
print(alice.age) // 25Mutating fields
Struct fields follow the same mutability rules as variables:
alice.age = alice.age + 1If the struct instance is declared lock, mutation is forbidden.
