          1. like a variable but it does not change
            1. for example pi the number would be the literal
              1. the name you have set it as would be the identifier
            2. Variable
              1. something that changes during a program for example the score of a game
              2. Data types
                1. the type of data, how it is stored and what it can be used for
                  1. Integer
                    1. 4 Byte
                      1. Integer data type can store any whole number, such as: -115, 0, 2, 341.
                    2. Real
                      1. 8 Byte
                        1. Real data types are used when there is a decimal point with a fractional number, such as: -32.15678, 0.012, 59.00564, 72.0
                      2. String
                        1. 1 Byte

                            1. Boolean data types are used for logical operations and have the value True or False
                          2. information can’t be stored as an array if there are different data types
                            1. Array- one dimensional one dimensional is a linier list E.G first name last name, two dimensional a table
                          3. Array
                            1. one dimensional one dimensional is a linier list E.G first name last name, two dimensional a table
