A data type made up of several values that you can treat as a single unit is called a composite type.

A struct in Go groups together related pieces of data, called fields.

E.g.:

1// Customer represents information about a customer.
2type Customer struct {
3  Name string
4  Email string
5}

Comments before a struct definition get turned into browsable documentation when published to github.

The type keyword introduces a new type definition. The struct keyword specifies which kind of new type we are creating.

Everything after type Customer ... is a type literal.
