<\/span><\/h2>\nVariables are always used by programmers to store information that is referenced in a computer program. The value of a variable can be manipulated using a function or an instruction. The program variables naturally also offer the option of assigning a descriptive name to data via the variable name<\/strong>. With the individual variable name<\/strong>, our programs are easier to understand for the programmer and any other reader. It is helpful to think of variables as containers for information. Their sole purpose is to identify and store data in memory. This data can then be used throughout the program. This has the advantage that the variable values can be accessed and worked with at any time.<\/p>\n<\/div>
