What is a variable in programming?
In: Other
A variable is basically a name of an information.
So for example
num = 4
would (in python) declare the variable “num” to have the value 4. So you could do stuff with that like:
eight = num + num
where each “num” has the value 4 and so the result has the value 8. This can also be used to declare stuff in advance for example:
x = input()
y = input()
result = x+y
as the time of writing this you don’t know what value “x” or “y” will have as they are getting their value from the user input but whatever the user inputs, the program will try to add the 2 together.
