Map-entered variables

Okay kiddo, imagine you have a big map of your neighborhood. On this map, you can see your house, your friend's house, the park, and many other places. Now, let's say you want to keep some information about these places, such as the color of your friend's house, the name of the park, or the number of trees in your yard. You could write this information on the map itself, but that would make it very messy and hard to read.

Instead, you can use something called "map-entered variables." These are like little sticky notes that you can attach to the map, and they will stay there until you take them off. Each sticky note can have some information written on it, like the color of your friend's house or the name of the park.

In computer programming, maps are called "objects," and these sticky notes are called "properties." So, if you have a map (object) in your program, you can attach properties to it, like the color of your friend's house or the name of the park. And just like in real life, these properties will stay with the map until you remove them.

So, map-entered variables are just a way of storing information about an object in a neat and organized way, kind of like sticky notes on a map.
