Data is a collection of facts that we find to produce an interesting conclusion of a decision. Data is the plural of datum word, derived from the Latin
meaning something given. In everyday usage, data means a statement that is accepted as it is. This statement is the result of measurement or observation of a
variable which can be a statement, picture, sound, letters, numbers, language or other symbols that we can use as ingredients to see the environment, objects,
