A programmer is creating a simple program that will keep track of the score in a children's game. The score starts at zero and increases as points are earned. Which of the following should the programmer use to store the score?
A query language
A variable
An array
A method
A function
A constant
A variable is the correct choice for storing the score because variables allow for the stored data to be modified or updated while the program runs. Since the score changes throughout the game, a variable's mutable nature makes it ideal for this purpose. Constants cannot change once set, and functions are not storage containers but rather blocks of code designed to perform specific tasks. Therefore, while functions might be used to increase the score variable, they are not where you would store the score itself.
