Composite type

When we talk about composites, we're usually talking about a bunch of things combined together to make one bigger thing. Kind of like how Legos are made up of lots of little pieces, but when you put them all together you make a big spaceship or a castle or something cool like that.

In computer programming, a "composite type" is a way of combining different data types into one big type. Data types are like different kinds of building blocks that programmers use to make their programs work. For example, there are data types for numbers, text, dates, and lots of other things.

So when we talk about a composite type in programming, we're really talking about a bunch of different data types combined together into one big type. This makes it really handy when you want to work with something that has a lot of information - like a person's name, address, and phone number all at once. Instead of making separate variables for each of those things, you can create a composite type that puts them all together.

It's kind of like having a special box that can hold all the things you need for a picnic - the blanket, the food, the plates and cups. Instead of carrying all those things separately, you just put them all in the box and carry it with you. The composite type is like that box - it just makes it easier to carry around a bunch of different data all at once.
