Pseudocode – Custom Types

- A custom type is a collection of data items that may consist of different data types, grouped under one identifier.  

- It allows programmers to define complex structures beyond atomic types.  

Declaration  

TYPE <identifier1>

    DECLARE <identifier2> : <data type>

    DECLARE <identifier3> : <data type>

ENDTYPE

Usage  

- Once defined, a custom type can be used like any other data type in variable declarations.  

- Variables of a custom type can be assigned to each other.  

- Individual data items are accessed using dot notation.  

Example:  

TYPE Student

    DECLARE name : STRING

    DECLARE age : INTEGER

ENDTYPE

DECLARE student1 : Student

DECLARE student2 : Student

student1.name <-- "Yashvi"

student1.age <-- 18

student2 <-- student1   // Assigns all fields of student1 to student2
