Records
A record is a block of contiguous storage whose parts ( fields) have names and individual types.
Pascal:
type person = record name: alfa;
age: integer;
sex: (male, female);
salary: real end;
C++:
typedef struct person {
char name[16];
int age;
int sex;
float salary;} *PERSON;
Java: a class specifies a record as well as methods.
class Person {
public String name;
public long age;
public Sex sex;
public double salary; }
