    A data dictionary documents each data item in a system, describing the data name, type, format, size, description, example, and validation rules. It allows new programmers to understand the existing code base but requires constant updates during development. The data dictionary example shows data fields for a customer's date of birth, balance, email address, and gender, specifying the relevant details for each.

    A data dictionary is a piece of documentation which describes each data item in a system. It allows programmers
    new to the task to easily grasp the exiting code base, but has the disadvantage of requiring constant updating
    during production.
