Struct in Solidity smart contracts

Structs are custom data types that can group several variables. They represent a record of “something”. Suppose you want to keep a list of “To Do’s” and need to know if they are completed. One would keep a simple list and create a Struct:

• item “To Do”
• was it completed?

See the contract below for an example of how to create a “To Do” Struct

Contract Todos {

//create a custom struct called Todo

Struct Todo {
       String text;
       Bool completed;
       }

//below we created a data type of Todo which is the struct to create an array

Todo[] public todos; 

Function create (string memory _text) public {
//Push a new todo struct into the array
    Todos.push(Todo(_text, false));  

Function get(uint _index) public view returns (string memory, bool) {
    Todo storage todo = todos[_index];
//this is how you get information out of a struct state variable
    Return (todo.text, todo.completed);
