What are tokens?

Tokens are little pieces that help us do bigger things, just like puzzle pieces fit together to make a picture.

Imagine you have a box of colored blocks. Each block is a token, and when you put them together, they become something cool, like a tower or a house. In the world of computers, tokens work similarly, they are small parts that help computers understand what we want them to do.

Think of writing a message to your friend using only numbers and symbols. That’s like using tokens instead of letters. For example:

• 5 could mean “Hello”
• 7 could be “How are you?”
• 3 might stand for “See you soon!”

This is how computers understand language, by breaking it down into small, simple pieces called tokens, which they can then process and use to create meaning.

Just like building blocks help you build a castle, tokens help computers build everything from websites to games! Tokens are little pieces that help us do bigger things, just like puzzle pieces fit together to make a picture.
