A record is a composite data structure that is similar in concept and structure to a row in a database table. It consists of multiple pieces of information called fields. The record as a whole does not have a value of its own; instead, each individual field has a value, and the record gives you a way to store and access these values as a group. To use a record, you must first define it and declare a variable of this type.
