I hope that with C# 11 we'll finally get union types🤞

[@imikhan83]

Very nice explanation... thanks

Can you tell me where are the use cases for record structs ?

[@CodingTutorialsAreGo]

It's hard to be definite about. I don't use structs much, so I don't use record structs much. But my instinct is, if you're going to write a struct, make it a record struct, then you're helped with immutability and given all the free methods.

Would not it be useful to have a default constructor for record class ?

[@CodingTutorialsAreGo]

Yes, you can add one to a record class if you want.

[@SharafMansour]

@@CodingTutorialsAreGo I mean getting one out of the box. Like in normal class.

[@SharafMansour]

Trying to understand C# team POV. When record classes came without a default constructor. I have to manually define them.

[@CodingTutorialsAreGo]

@@SharafMansour They do. But by using the positional syntax (putting the properties in brackets after the record name) you are declaring a constructor with parameters. And so, just like with a class, adding any constructor turns off the auto-generation of a default constructor.
