C# Data structures: Class vs. Struct vs. Record

So, what is a class?
A type that is defined as a class is a reference type. At run time, when you declare a variable of a reference type, the variable contains the value null until you explicitly create an instance of the class by using the new operator, or assign it an object of a compatible type that may have been created elsewhere, as shown in the following example:

And what is a struct?
A structure type (or struct type) is a value type that can encapsulate data and related functionality. You use the struct keyword to define a structure type.

And a record?
Beginning with C# 9, you use the record keyword to define a reference type that provides built-in functionality for encapsulating data. C# 10 allows the record class syntax as a synonym to clarify a reference type, and record struct to define a value type with similar functionality. You can create record types with immutable properties by using positional parameters or standard property syntax.

And, what is C#?
C# (pronounced "See Sharp") is a modern, object-oriented, and type-safe programming language. C# enables developers to build many types of secure and robust applications that run in .NET. C# has its roots in the C family of languages and will be immediately familiar to C, C++, Java, and JavaScript programmers. This tour provides an overview of the major components of the language in C# 8 and earlier. If you want to explore the language through interactive examples, try the introduction to C# tutorials.

C# is an object-oriented, component-oriented programming language. C# provides language constructs to directly support these concepts, making C# a natural language in which to create and use software components. Since its origin, C# has added features to support new workloads and emerging software design practices. At its core, C# is an object-oriented language. You define types and their behavior.

So good to have found your channel. Short descriptions with the actual examples and understanding concepts in such a short period of time and correctly. THank you.

Maybe good to mention that records can be immutable but don't have to be. It's possible to create mutable records

[ВикторБелоусов-тк]

I finally understand what is records in C#

[YetenekBURADA]

is the C# Progress Academy course suitable for beginners ?

[БолеславМалиновский-жф]

Bad video. It doesn't only mention "record struct" case, but instead has TWO! integrations which take up to 10% of whole video time in total. Sht.

You just showed syntax an nothing else. Where is the actual comparison of the types and their object behaviors? This video explains nothing
