Typedef

typedef allows you to create an alias or nickname for an existing data type in C. You use the typedef keyword followed by the existing data type and the new alias name. For example, typedef int Intdata creates Intdata as an alias for the int data type that can be used anywhere an int is expected. The document also shows an example of using typedef to first create Intdata as an alias for int, then creating Integerdata as an alias for Intdata to demonstrate nesting typedefs.
