Question

what do you understand by the term structure? give a suitable example

Answer 1

Construction or framework of identifiable elements (components, entities, factors, members, parts, steps, etc.) which gives form and stability, and resists stresses and strains. Structures have defined boundaries within which (1) each element is physically or functionally connected to the other elements, and (2) the elements themselves and their interrelationships are taken to be either fixed (permanent) or changing only occasionally or slowly. 



EX:-The physical structure of the house was sturdy enough to withstand the strong winds of the hurricane while the houses next to it were blown away.
