What is a Variable in Programming?

Understanding the Concept of Variables

• A variable is often described as something that varies or changes, but it can be better understood as a container for data.

• In programming, a variable represents a dedicated space in memory allocated by the operating system to store data needed for program execution.

• When a program requires storage for numbers, it requests memory space from the operating system, which then assigns specific memory cells for this purpose.

• The assigned memory spaces allow the program to modify stored values throughout its execution—adding, subtracting, multiplying, or replacing them as necessary.

• The video suggests further exploration of variables and their functionalities through an introductory programming series for deeper understanding.
