<!-- (Audio) Sarah: Good question! You usually choose data types based on the kind of information you want to store. -->

# --description--

The verb `to store` in programming refers to the act of keeping or saving data so that it can be used later. Choosing the right data types is critical because it influences how information is `stored` and used in a program.

Different data types are suited for different kinds of information, like text, numbers, or boolean values. For example, to `store` text, a programmer might use the data type `string`.
