💡 Quick Study Guide: Data Types for Grade 2
- 🔢 Numbers: These are for counting things! Like your age (7), how many apples you have (3), or the score in a game (100). They are whole numbers.
- 🔤 Text (or String): This is for words, letters, and sentences. Like your name ("Alex"), your favorite color ("Blue"), or a secret message ("Hello World!").
- ✅ True/False (or Boolean): This is for things that can only be one of two options: yes or no, on or off, true or false. Like "Is the light on?" (True) or "Is it raining?" (False).
- 📦 Why they matter: Computers need to know what kind of information they are working with so they can store and use it correctly! It's like sorting your toys.
