For those with low exposure to languages like C and C++ (myself included) the comment

"A struct is a collection of fields.
(And a type declaration does what you'd expect.)"

seems a little too light on detail. My general experience with coding and some exposure to C and C++ means I got the gist well enough for now. However; for a tutorial that seems to make few assumptions of the user's knowledge of coding structures and syntax this page is definitely an outlier.
