                                  I have  collected  data,  but I don't know how  to  represent them  in                  65
                                 different formats.


                                  You can sort, decode and represent your data in different ways. Let

                                 me explain them to you.

                 In the previous class, we have learnt how to apply the concepts through visualisation.

                 In  this  class,  we  are  going  to  learn  how  to  interpret  the  data  and  process  the
                 information.



                   Data and Information



                 Data refers to the raw input. When this data is processed, the outcome received is

                 known as information.
