A variable is a symbolic name (identifier) that refers to a storage location in memory. The data stored at that location-the variable's value-can be read or replaced while the program runs, making variables essential for manipulating and tracking changing information. Constants, arrays, and comments do not have this combination of a symbolic name, a single storage location, and the ability to change value during execution.
