👉 A fluid in the context of computer science and programming refers to a data type that can store and manipulate values that change over time or are not fixed in nature. Unlike traditional data types such as integers or strings, which hold a constant value, fluids can represent dynamic data like numbers that keep updating (floating-point numbers) or text that can vary (strings). This flexibility makes fluids particularly useful in scenarios involving real-time data processing, simulations, and applications where data needs to be continuously updated or adjusted, such as in scientific computing, financial modeling, and artificial intelligence.
