Icon (programming language)

Okay kiddo, let's talk about a programming language called icon.

An icon is like a language that computers understand. It helps programmers like grown-ups to tell computers what to do.

Now, imagine you have a big bag of toys. Some toys have the same color, some are the same shape, and some might even have the same name. This can be very confusing if you're trying to find a specific toy.

Icon helps programmers solve this problem for the computer. It has special tools called "abstractions" that help group things together and make them easier to find. Think of it like putting all the green toys in one box and all the square toys in another box.

Icon is also really good at working with lists of things. It can help sort through a big list and find the things you're looking for quickly.

So, in a way, icon helps programmers be more organized and efficient when writing code for the computer to execute. And that's why it's an important tool in the world of programming.
