Mutable Data:
Mutable data refers to data that can be directly modified after its creation. This means you can change the original value of the data without creating a new instance. Think of it like a physical object - you can directly change its state.
Immutable Data:
Immutable data, on the other hand, cannot be changed after its creation. Every modification creates a new copy of the data with the desired changes, leaving the original untouched. Imagine it like a photograph - you can create copies with edits, but the original remains unchanged.
