Mutable Data

+**Mutable Data**

+Mutable data refers to information that can be altered after its creation, allowing its state to change over time. This contrasts with [Immutable Data](/wiki/immutable_data), where values are fixed once set, profoundly impacting how [Data Structure](/wiki/data_structure)s are designed and managed in computation. The ability to modify data in place offers flexibility in many [Programming Language](/wiki/programming_language)s, yet can also introduce complex interactions.
