When writing programs, it’s crucial to keep track of data. This is where variables come in - they store data for future reference. A variable is a fundamental concept in software development.

Each programming language has its own way of handling variables. Kotlin, in particular, offers some unique features for handling them.

Kotlin supports various types of data, each designed to serve a particular purpose. In this lesson, you’ll also learn about comments and their significance in a Kotlin program.

In summary, this lesson covers the following topics:

  • Understanding the difference between var and val
  • Describing the purpose of data types such as Int, Double, Float, Boolean, Char, and String
  • Identifying the importance of code comments.
