00:00:00,290 --> 00:00:02,510
What are variables?

2
00:00:02,780 --> 00:00:10,620
Well, variable concept is the same irrespective of any programming language.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:19,040
So understanding variable is a great starting point for mastering any programming language.

4
00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:23,990
So let's answer to the question what is a variable?

5
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,800
Well, a variable is a container.

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:39,320
The key point here is it is a container for storing, manipulate and retrieve data throughout your program.

7
00:00:39,740 --> 00:00:46,670
So we often refer a variable like a box or a container.

8
00:00:47,380 --> 00:00:55,870
If you know something about backend development, this is like a database where we can store and retrieve

9
00:00:55,870 --> 00:00:56,500
data.

10
00:00:57,070 --> 00:01:07,720
So I often regard variable in layman's understanding as a database where we can store and retrieve data.

11
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,040
So let's explore more about a variable.

12
00:01:12,610 --> 00:01:23,470
Variable can use to store data and the same data, we can reuse that data inside the container and it

13
00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:26,560
makes our code more readable.

14
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:32,560
And lastly, we can update the data in a variable.

15
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,870
So let's look at this video to know more about a variable.

16
00:01:38,420 --> 00:01:48,200
We regard the box as a variable and inside the box we can put or keep data inside it and the same data

17
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,000
inside the box, We can re-use it at any point in time.

18
00:01:53,150 --> 00:02:02,660
So in a nutshell or in summary, a variable is a container for storing data in programming.

19
00:02:02,690 --> 00:02:04,910
Let's continue in the next video.
