Coordinates

Coordinates are a system used to pinpoint specific locations on a map or in a space. They typically consist of two or three numbers: for example, in a two-dimensional system, like a map, you have an X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) value. The X value indicates how far along the horizontal axis you are, while the Y value shows how far up or down you are. In three-dimensional space, a Z value is added to represent height or depth. Coordinates help in navigation, geography, and many fields such as engineering and computer graphics by providing precise locations.
