yes, say you have a structure representing a complex number

typedef  struct {                   /* complex number type */
                 float real;        /* real component */
                 float imag;        /* imaginary component */
                } Complex;                             
 

you code add two complex numbers so

/* Function to add a pair of complex numbers, result = x + y  */
Complex c_add(const Complex x, const Complex y)
{
    return c_numb(x.real + y.real, x.imag + y.imag);       /* function result */
}
 

the result being returned a structure Complex
