What are Operands in Programming?

Operands are numerical, text and Boolean values that a program can manipulate and use as logical guidelines for making decisions. 

Like with math, computer programs can use constant values and variables as operands. ▫ If you have the variable "dozens" with the value of “2" and the constant "12" in the equation "dozens*12 = 24."

In programming, operands are fundamental elements used in operations. They represent the data values or variables that are manipulated by operators. When you perform an operation like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division, you're typically working with operands. 

These operands can take various forms, including constants (fixed values), variables (memory locations storing values), expressions (combinations of operators and operands), and function calls (invocations of functions that may return values). Understanding operands is crucial because they form the foundation for executing tasks and calculations within a program.
