/**
 Structures allow you to create custom data types
 See them as a blueprint for how a actual struct instance will be. What they are and how they behave
 Struct names should start with capital letter
 Struct instances should start with lowercase letter just like any other types
 Structs can have properties and methods (which are functions in a struct)
