Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Introduction to Programming Types

The video tutorial explains how programming languages handle types, using TypeScript as an example. It covers the creation of variables, the importance of types, and how different types offer different functionalities. The tutorial also demonstrates using console logs for debugging and modifying variable values over time.

What is a type in programming?
