Imagine you're playing with your toys, right?
Each toy box is like a variable in a computer, and it holds something special inside,
Just like how a variable holds information in the computer's brain!
Now, think of your toy box having different sections for different kinds of toys – like cars, dolls, and blocks.
These sections are like data types. They tell the computer what kind of information each variable can hold.
For instance,
Let's say you have a variable called "favorite_color."
This variable might hold information about your favorite color, like "blue" or "pink."
In computer-speak, "favorite_color" is a variable, and "blue" or "pink" are its data types.
It's kinda like how the "cars" section in your toy box holds toy cars.
Now, here's where it gets even more exciting!
You can change the information inside a variable, just like swapping toys in your toy box.
Today, your favorite color might be "blue," but tomorrow it could be "green"!
That's the magic of variables and data types – they're flexible and can hold different kinds of information.
So, remember:
Variables are like little containers that hold information, and data types tell us what kind of information they can hold.
Cool, right!
For example, in computer code using python language:
