Solution

Data and Information are two terms often used in the field of computing and data management. Here's the difference between the two:

  1. Data: Data is raw, unprocessed, and unorganized facts or details that alone might not make much sense or provide context. For example, a list of random numbers is data.

  2. Information: Information is data that has been processed, organized, or structured in a manner that it's meaningful and useful. For example, if those random numbers are used to represent the ages of a group of people, then that's information.

In real life, consider a restaurant survey with questions about customer's age, gender, food preference, etc. The individual responses are data. But when a restaurant compiles all the surveys and concludes that "60% of our customers prefer vegetarian food", that's information.
