What is the difference between memory location and data type?

Simply put,

• Memory location refers to a specific spot in the computer’s memory where data is stored. Think of it as a unique address where your data lives while your program is running. Every variable in your program is stored in one of these memory locations.

• Data type is about the kind of data that goes into a memory location. For example, if you’re storing a number, the data type could be an int (integer) or a float (decimal number). If you’re storing text, the data type would be char or string.

So, in simple terms: Memory location is where data lives, and data type is what kind of data it is.

It’s okay if it's not 100% clear right now. As you continue with the course, this concept will make more sense.
