DATA
Data is the primary reason for a computer to run. It is why
we use the computer. To create, manipulate, and destroy data. When you
talk to an electrical engineer about data, he is going to talk about analog
and digital data. However, if you talk to an average computer user about
data, he will refer to filenames and/or their extensions. Then, if you
talk to advanced computer users about data, they are going to talk to you
about ASCII characters or bytes. Therefore, to prepare you for any
conversation about data, it would be to your benefit to continue this tutorial.
Here is a short outline of this section.
