Abstract
Using the four structuring methods which have been described, a programmer may create an infinite variety of structured types. All of these types have one thing in common. For any given structured type, all the variables must have an identical structure. There is, however, a wide range of applications for which these structures are inadequate because the data structures must describe objects whose characteristics may vary.
