Designing a New Value Type

C# allows a user to create their own structs. This is useful if there is a need for creating a new value type, an object with value semantics. Struct creation is much like designing a new class. There are differences and the following paragraphs will show what they are. The following example provides a general description of the syntax of creating a struct.
