Explanation:

A variable is a way of assigning an area in a computer memory that can hold values like text, number and characters. When using variables, you must specify its type. Specifying its type determines the type of data the variable can hold, how it is handled and its location in the computer memory.

Variables hold information that is stored in the computer memory and is labeled by a name.
