## Unions vs Structures
Unions are declared in the same way as structs, but are different because only one item within the union can be used at any time.

## A few more tricks
* When you create a pointer to a structure using the `&` operator you can use the special `->` infix operator to deference it. This is used for example when working with linked lists in C
* The new defined type can be used just as other basic types for almost everything. Try for example to create an array of type `student` and see how it works.
* Structs can be copied or assigned but you can not compare them!
