In computer programming, a variable is a named storage location in the system's memory (RAM) that holds a value or piece of information. Think of it as a labeled container or "bucket" where data is stored so that it can be easily referenced, reused, and modified throughout a program's execution |

Variables store data that a program can use and change. They also give data meaningful names, which makes the code easier for both the programmer and others to read and understand. |
