Basic comp scie vocab (again)

okay I'm rewriting this blog post, I originally had 15 words with definitions but I'll only use 4 now because I'm tired and my laptop is gonna die ahhh 

 1. Variable

A variable is a storage location in a computer program, which has a name and can hold a value. This value can change (hence the term "variable"). For example, in the statement `x = 5`, `x` is a variable that stores the value `5`.

2. Data Type

A data type defines the kind of data that can be stored and manipulated within a program. Common data types include:

   - Integer (int): Represents whole numbers (e.g., `5`, `-3`).

   - Float: Represents decimal numbers (e.g., `3.14`, `-2.0`).

   - String (str): Represents sequences of characters (e.g., `"hello"`, `"123"`).

   - Boolean (bool): Represents truth values, either `True` or `False`.

3. Function

A function is a block of code designed to perform a particular task. Functions take inputs (called arguments or parameters), process them, and return an output. For example, in Python, `def add(a, b): return a + b` defines a function that adds two numbers.

4. Loop

A loop is a programming construct that repeats a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. The two main types of loops are:

   - For Loop: Iterates over a sequence (like a list or range) a specific number of times.

   - While Loop: Repeats as long as a condition remains true.
