record A data structure that allows for multiple variables of differing individual types to be held within it. allow data values of different types that relate to each other to be stored together instead of in different arrays. For example, a record could be declared to hold the information about a board game:
RECORD Boardgame
title
genre
numPlayers
minAge
maxAge
