Data Type - Scalar Variable

Card Puncher Data Processing

About

A scalar variable is an atomic quantity that can hold only one value at a time

A scalar function returns a scalar.

The contrary of scalar variable are collections.

A scalar multiplication is usually use to scale

Usually a scalar is a single number (Real Number as Scalar)

Not to confound with the term scalar that design a Variable.
