Data ( /ˈdeɪtə/ DAY-tə, /ˈdætə/ DA-tə, or /ˈdɑːtə/ DAH-tə) are values of qualitative or quantitative variables, belonging to a set of items. Data in computing (or data processing) are often represented by a combination of items organized in rows and multiple variables organized in columns. Data are typically the results of measurements and can be visualised using graphs or images. Data as an abstract concept can be viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and then knowledge are derived. Raw data, i.e., unprocessed data, refers to a collection of numbers, characters and is a relative term; data processing commonly occurs by stages, and the "processed data" from one stage may be considered the "raw data" of the next. Field data refers to raw data collected in an uncontrolled in situ environment. Experimental data refers to data generated within the context of a scientific investigation by observation and recording.
The word data is the plural of datum, neuter past participle of the Latin dare, "to give", hence "something given". In discussions of problems in geometry, mathematics, engineering, and so on, the terms givens and data are used interchangeably. Such usage is the origin of data as a concept in computer science or data processing: data are numbers, words, images, etc., accepted as they stand.
Hmm, listen
I noticed that you don't act the same
Always leaving home in the evening
It's driving me insane
Baby do you think I'm a fool?
Well I followed you today baby
And what I seen blew me away
I saw you, riding
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
I saw you, kicking it
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
You always say that he ain't no man
But you, you find a way to see him
Whenever you can, oh yeah
Baby do you think I'm a fool?
Well I followed you today baby, ha
And it blew my mind away
When I saw you...
I saw you, riding
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
I saw you, kicking it
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
So do you love him?
Or do you love me?
If you love me baby testify about it
Can you do that for me?
Oh so do you want him?
Or do you want me?
Me, me, me, me
Cause if you're down
I'll give you the chance to stay with me
Even though I saw you riding yeah
I saw you, riding
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
I saw you, kicking it
On the north side with your baby's daddy
You didn't see me, I was low key
Just tell me baby
What the deal be?
