Abstract
It is often the case that an object in the real world has many attributes, each describing an aspect of the object. For example, a bank account is often associated with the attributes account name, account number, password, and balance; a student may be described by a name, identification number, age, department, and so on. The composite types introduced in this chapter provide a data structure for modeling such objects.
