Talk:Record (computer science)

[edit] "C tutorial"

To the anonymous IP who in their edit summary said "Does this C tutorial really belong here anyway?", I think it shouldn't be. The abstract description says about the same amount about records in a much more widely applicable way in about two sentences. Maybe it could be made more newbie-friendly, but there's no need to do more than mention that C has support for records and that they're called structs. This is why I made the rather drastic change I did. I suspect this was the result of a merge of some sort. Deco 06:15, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Retrieved old page from early 2005 to make a page on the notion of record type

This page used to redirect to object composition from spring 2005. I retrieved the old page to have a page on the notion of record type, notion that I could not find described elsewhere.

I'm still unclear whether it makes sense:

• to keep a reference to the record data structure in the article, a notion which is referred from the record disambiguation page,
• to keep the page name record (computer science) rather than giving it a name record type.

[edit] Merge proposition

The retrieval was a good thing! I propose to merge it with "Storage record", which is a weirdly named stub. "Record" is a very basic computing concept, so I think we should point out the history and chronology (first of all). --Kubanczyk (talk) 20:25, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
