Record

Syntax

record[name₁,type₁,name₂,type₂,.....,name_d,type_d]

Semantics

The record type allows the programmer to combine d attributes into one, new type. There can be any number of names and types inside the record type. A record type is very similar to a typedef structure in C. To access the member of a record use the dot, .

Example

var complex : record["r",Float,"i",Float];
var person: record["name",String, "age",Int, "gender",Char];
var a:array[complex,10];
(a#1).i:=22.3;
var b:complex; 
var me:person;
me.name:="nick";

In the above example, complex (a complex number) is a record with two float elements, i and r. The variable b is defined as a complex number and a as an array of these numbers. The variable me is of type person.
