Algebraic data type

Algebraic Data Types are special kinds of data types in programming languages like Java and Python. They are like special containers which can hold one or more values. For example, an Algebraic Data Type could be a container that holds two values, a number and a string. The two values together form one Algebraic Data Type. With Algebraic Data Types, you can do special kinds of things like adding, subtracting, and comparing the values in the container.
