+--Compound Data type can hold multiple independent values
+--In Elm data can be compounded using List, Tuple, Record
+--In a List
+point = [2,5]
+--This creates a list having x and y which are independent and can be accessed by List functions
+--Note that x and y must be of same data type
+
+--Tuple is another useful data type that stores different independent values
+point = (3,4)
+--Here we can have multiple data types
+point1 = ("x","y")
+point2 = (3,4.5)
+--The order of addressing matters
+--Using a Record is the best option
+point = {x=3,y=4}
+--To access
+point.x
+point.y
+--Or Use it as a function
+.x point
+.y point
+--Also to alter the value
+{point | x=7}
+{point | y=2}
+{point | x=3,y=4}
+--Each time a new record is generated
+--END
