Explicit substitution
Okay, kiddo, let me explain explicit substitution to you. Imagine you have a puzzle piece that is a picture of a cat. You can take that puzzle piece and swap it out with another puzzle piece that has a picture of a dog. That's kind of like what explicit substitution does in computer programming.
In computer programming, we use symbols and statements to tell the computer what to do. When we use explicit substitution, we take a symbol or a statement and replace it with another symbol or statement. It's like changing the puzzle piece in our puzzle.
Let me give you an example. Let's say we have a math equation that says 2 + 3 - 4. We can use explicit substitution to replace the 2 with a 5. We could also replace the 4 with a 1. Now the equation would say 5 + 3 - 1.
Explicit substitution can be really helpful when we want to simplify code or make changes to a program. It's like a magic wand that lets us make changes quickly and easily.
