Indeed. A structure variable stores the values of all its member
variables.
We have not talked about it, but in C++ there is little difference
between structures and classes: one can declare methods, constructors
and all the good things for structures also.
The main difference is by default (without explicitly stating the
access specifier - either public: or private:) all the members in the
structure are public while all the members of the class are private.
