Snowball (programming language)

Okay kiddo, so a snowball is actually not a toy you can play with in the snow. It's a special computer language that people use to tell their computers what to do.

Think of it like this: have you ever played a game with a set of rules? Maybe it's a board game or something like freeze tag. There's something called the "game master" who makes sure everyone follows those rules.

Well, in the same way, snowball is like a set of rules that the computer must follow. It's a language that tells a computer how to do certain tasks.

Some people like using snowball for things like data analysis or creating programs that solve math problems. But it's not as popular as other programming languages like Python or Java.

Does that help?
