Variable

a variable in computer programming is a named location in memory where data can be stored variables are used to store information that is needed by a program for example, a variable can be used to store the player's score in a game or the current temperature in a weather forecast variables are created using a variable declaration statement the general syntax for a variable declaration statement is where variable type is the type of data that the variable will store, and variable name is the name of the variable for example, the following statement declares a variable called score that will store an integer once a variable has been declared, it can be used to store data using an assignment statement the general syntax for an assignment statement is where expression is an expression that evaluates to a value of the same type as variable name for example, the following statement assigns the value 10 to the variable score variables can be used to store data of any type, including integers, floating point numbers, strings, and boolean values the type of data that a variable can store is determined by the variable's type for example, the variable score can only store an integer value, while the variable name can store a string value variables can be used to store data that is needed by a program for example, a variable can be used to store the player's score in a game or the current temperature in a weather forecast variables can also be used to store temporary data that is used by a program for example, a variable can be used to store the result of a calculation that is needed by the rest of the program feedback please be sure to submit issues or feature requests through the embedded feedback form in the event it is a major issue please contact us directly through discord
