I am taking a home correspondence course in computer programming and I
do not  understand my text book on user defined data structures or data
types. Could somebody please help me with some information and/or
examples in c? Pascal and Visual Basic info. and/or examples would be
appreciated but not expected. Thank you

What is it you don't understand?

Please try to be a bit more specific concerning what you want to
know and where your problems are. Maybe you could even try to
formulate a code sample to illustrate your problem.

Here is an example of a data structure in C:
  struct address {
    char name[100];
    int age;
    unsigned long amountOfMoneyYouOwnMe;
  }

In this is how you declare a variable of that type and assign some
values to them:
  int main( void )
  {
     struct address someGuy;

     someGuy.age = 42;
     someGuy.amountOfMoneyYouOwnMe = 4711;
     strcpy( someGuy.name, "Marvin" );

     return 0;
  }
