Record (computer science)

In computer science, a record (also called a structure, struct, user-defined type (UDT), or compound data type) is a composite data structure – a collection of fields, possibly of different data types, typically fixed in number and sequence. For example, a date could be stored as a record containing a numeric year field, a month field represented as a string, and a numeric day-of-month field.
