A RECORD IS A STRUCTURED DATA TYPE THAT
ALLOWS A GROUP OF RELATED ITEMS TO BE
REFERENCED BY A SINGLE NAME. IdNum
THE COMPONENTS OF A RECORD MAY BE OF
DIFFERENT TYPES. A RECORD DESCRIPTION IS Name

DECLARATION OF RECORDS
TYPE COMPONENTS OF A RECORD ARE CALLED
FIELDS, AND EACH FIELD HAS A DATA TYPE.
Studentinfo = RECORD
FIELDS ARE ASSOCIATED BY THEIR NAME, NOT
IdNum : INTEGER ; BY AN INDEX. EACH FIELD, IN ABOVE
Name : STRING [30] ; DECLERATION CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THEIR
NAME SEPERATED BY A PERIOD FROM THE
