What are the names of the fields in the Point structure?

Think in terms of representing a location in 2D space. A Point stores its horizontal and vertical coordinates, and the conventional names for those fields are x for the horizontal position and y for the vertical position. This makes code readable and aligns with standard mathematics and graphics notation, so you’d typically access them as p.x and p.y. The other letter pairs aren’t standard for coordinates and would be less intuitive, which is why x and y is the best choice.
