Hi Andrey,
Just found your question on my way to take the Introduction to Data and Data Science course exam. In programming, a dummy variable is a variable that takes a value of 0 or 1, and is often used as a placeholder for functions in development. Among other names, these variables are known as binary or categorical variables. I hope this helps!
Regards,
Enrique
