[Year 12 SofDev] structural characteristics of input data

[Esther Andrews]

Hi Maggie,

I was interpreting  minor structural characteristics as being string/integer/boolean data types
And that major structural charactistics would be record and file structures.
I thought dropdown lists, radio buttons and checkboxes refer to gui objects rather than input data.

Subject: [Year 12 SofDev] structural characteristics of input data

The Sample Exam bases a question on the major structural characteristics of input data. Yep - it's in U3O2 Key Knowledge.

What does this actually mean? I'm guessing that it refers to dropdown lists, radio buttons and checkboxes. Don't know for sure.

Also, what would be the minor structural characteristics of input data?

Need some help here.
