Variables

Variables are used to store information. A variable always has a name, and we can reference the variable by its name. This way, the information stored in a variable can be used elsewhere in your program. In other words, variables can be used to label a piece of data, and reuse that data later on.

This section introduces variables and shows you how to create and use them. We will not yet touch on the more advanced subjects, like variable scope, if you were wondering. Rest assured that it will come at a later point in this course.
