Abstract
You can think of variables as a handy way to store information in the computer’s memory. A variable’s name identifies the memory location containing the information. The information may vary as a program runs. Computers recognize two types of variables, numeric and string. A numeric variable stores numbers; a string variable stores a series of letters, numbers, and symbols as a unit.
