16. Write a NumPy program that iterates over each record in the structured array created with fields for 'name' (string), 'age' (integer), and 'height' (float) and prints the 'name' and 'height' fields.

17. Write a NumPy program that creates a structured array with nested fields, such as 'person' (which has sub-fields 'name' and 'age') and 'score' (integer).

18. Write a NumPy program that uses advanced indexing to select records from the structured array created with fields for 'name' (string), 'age' (integer), and 'height' (float) where both 'age' is greater than 25 and 'height' is less than 6.0.

19. Write a NumPy program that creates a new field 'name_age' that concatenates the 'name' and 'age' fields from the structured array created with fields for 'name' (string), 'age' (integer), and 'height' (float).

20. Write a NumPy program to broadcast a value (e.g., set all 'height' values to 6.0) across the 'height' field in the structured array created with fields for 'name' (string), 'age' (integer), and 'height' (float).
