In computing, a variable is a value that the program or user can change. Variables are used in programming to store data, such as numbers, text, or results of calculations. They are also used to control the flow of a program, such as by making decisions based on the value of a variable. Variables can be classified by their data type, scope, and lifetime. The data type determines the kind of data stored in a variable, such as an integer or a string. Scope determines where in the program a variable can be accessed, such as global or local. Lifetime determines how long a variable exists, such as static or dynamic. Variables are an essential part of computing and play an important role in many different programs.
