Introduction
IFormattable Interface provides functionality to format the value of an object into a string representation. A simple example using a record demonstrates how to display different properties, along with formatting and calculations.
- "A" or "Age" => $"{BirthDay.GetAge()}" does a calculation
- "B" => $"{BirthDay:O}" does special date formatting
