Paper 2
Revise: Using Records to Store DataA record groups related named fields about one entity. An entity is the single thing being described: here, one book. Each field holds one attribute, or characteristic, of that entity.
When designing a record, give meaningful field names, suitable example values and the data type of each value. All fields should describe the same entity.
Distinguish a field from a record: a field stores one attribute, while the complete record groups the attributes of one entity.
