Numbers and strings are fundamental data types in programming. Understanding them is important because:

  • Numbers are used for calculations, counting, and logical operations. Whether you're building a calculator, processing user input, or making decisions based on values, numbers play a key role.
  • Strings are essential for handling text. Almost every program involves working with words, names, or messages—whether it’s displaying information, taking user input, or storing text data.

By learning how to use numbers and strings effectively, you'll build a strong foundation for more advanced programming concepts.
