In this chapter we will introduce the different structures that can be used to
represent and store data.
In Shang a piece of data is anything that can be assigned to a variable.
In particular, a function or a class is just like a number or
a string,
and can be stored in a variable. Therefore by data we refer to both static information
such as numbers, matrices, and character strings, as well as functions,
classes, and running programs.
