Dart structure is almost similar to objective C ,There will be class,overrides ,Inheritance,function etc.

Code Structure of Flutter.

Everything you are changing is a widget in flutter.

You can compare the code structure of flutter to widget tree. You are creating a widget name mainapp which is run from void main app.. in that main app you are creating a stateless widget , you are creating again a Stateful widget inside that you are creating widgets call appbar,body .

Inside body , you might be creating a container and editing a feature ..It continues.

Types of widgets

1 . State less

2. State full

State less widgets are static in nature does not change with respect time.They are like skeletons of human body upon which other parts being held in structured manner.

State full widgets are dynamic in change with respect to time , examples is text form field which changes as you tries to edit the content.
