Question 3

What is the difference between data and information?

Answer
DataInformation
Data is the lowest level of abstraction.Information is one level higher abstraction than data.
Data is unstructured and carries no meaning.Information is derived by interpreting and processing data.
For example, marks such as 67, 88, 90 and 77 are considered data.For example, when these marks are related to a boy named Rohit, a student of class IX who has scored 67 in English, 88 in Maths, 90 in Physics and 77 in Chemistry then it becomes information.
