From Demystifying Java..For many of us, the terms information and data are synonymous. However, information and data are distinctly different in programming. Data is the smallest amount of meaningful information. Can someone please give me an example that could help me out, and perhaps relate to a 14 year old? I sort of understand, but when I try to separate the two in my head, I'm having problems for some reason (probably thinking of them as the same for my whole life is the reason for this).
What is the difference between information and data?
