Variable interpolation
Okay kiddo, let me tell you about variable interpolation.
Imagine you have a special box where you can store different things. This box has a label on it which helps you identify what is stored inside it.
Now, just like this box, there are computer programs where you can store different values or information using a label or name.
For example, you can store your age in a variable called "age".
Variable interpolation is like taking that value from the variable and putting it into a sentence or message.
Let's say you have a message that says "Hey kiddo, you are 5 years old". Instead of writing 5, you can use the variable you created earlier called "age" and write it as "Hey kiddo, you are ${age} years old".
So, when the computer reads this message, it replaces "${age}" with the actual value that is stored in the "age" variable which is your age.
This makes it easier to create messages and sentences that have changing values without having to write a new message every time.
I hope that makes sense, kiddo!
