2: Storing number and strings and using Julia syntax
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Solving Scientific Computing problems ultimately boils down to manipulating data and at the most basic is that of strings and numbers. We begin with understanding these data types and how to store values in them.
We also show some of julia syntax, which looks like other languages (like python). Hopefully you have some basic knowledge of computing, but no assumption of any particular language is necessary.
