3.1.1 Variables

Variables in a computer program can be thought of as "Buckets" or "Envelopes" where information can be stored in computer memory and referenced. On the outside of the bucket is a name. When referring to the variable, we use the name of the variable, not the data stored in the variable.

This is an example of a variable E.g.

name = “Bob”

age = 19

dob = “26/08/2004”

print(name)

Bob
