With programming, some languages are quite strict about types. If you think it in real life: A person is a human, a human a living thing, a living thing can also be type as animal, a plant... A common point of all these living things is they "eat" something, eat would be a function. Well then, with my example: A living thing would be a class =>A human would be another class that come from a living thing class, we call it Extends =>An animal would be another class that come from a living thing class, like a human it's based on a living thing. Inside a living class it has a function call "eat" and so, all class that extends living thing, got the function "eat". Now if you create a human called "Farzad Garousi" (I randomly pick a name :P), then the human I created will got all functionalities of a human class... AND all functionalities of living thing class. "Farzard Garousi" would be a human type. In programing you will have some basic type ever existing, like: -Integer -Double -String -Object -... If I ask to my program to tell me what is the type of "Farzad Garousi" it will probably answer me that the type is "human" To explain a while some very basic types: -Integer => Number without decimals -Double => Number with decimal -String => Text I will use a simple Action Script 3 piece of code to try to give an example: var FarzadGarousi:human = new human(); Means: variable name:type = new human class(); Then about "void": If I type the following code: function eat(){ Bla...bla...bla... } If I say that my function "eat" return "void" that means that If ask the result of my function I will have an empty answer, nothing,... But if I say that my function need to tell me what my human is eating I will not type "void" but maybe "string" and when I will ask "What human is eating?" the function will answer "Chicken legs" :D

You must understand basic mathematics, and that's all. Start with simple languages like Ruby or Python
