C# Records

This article explains C# records and record structs, introduced as a modern way to declare classes and structs. It covers syntax variations, immutability by default (init-only properties), reference vs value types, limitations (record inheritance only from other records), cloning with 'with' expressions, deconstruction to tuples, proper equality and hash code implementation, and string representation including potential issues with circular references. Aimed at developers, it serves as a back-to-basics guide for using records for entities, value objects, and immutable classes.
