<<The question must read as Difference between user defined and built in data types and not data structures. The answer is given accordingly.>>
A user defined data type is a data type that is defined by the user when coding the program. For example, let us say that you want to save the date in DD-MM-YYYY format. You will have to create a structure to define this data type.
A built-in data type is a data type that is already provided or supported by the language. Examples of built-in data types in C are int, float, char.
In computer science a data structure refers to organizing and storing data in a particular way in a computer so that it can be accessed and modified efficiently.
Built-in data structures are already provided by the language processor. They cannot be modified. For example, array, list, link, queue and stack.
User defined data structures can be created according to the user's need.
