ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Transformation (function)

Transformation is like magic! It's like turning a boring, old toy into a cool, new one by using a magic wand!

But instead of a wand, we use something called a function. A function is a set of instructions that tell us how to change something. Just like how a recipe tells us how to make a yummy cake!

But instead of making cakes, we use functions to change numbers, words or even pictures! These changes can help us understand things better, like how fast a car is going or what the weather is like.

For example, let's say we have the number 5. With a function, we can transform that number into something else, like 10 or 3. We can even do things like add or subtract numbers to our original number.

So, a function is like a magic recipe that tells us how to change things! Cool, right?
