A variable is a fundamental concept in programming and data processing. It is used to store data or information in a computer program to access or change it later. Variables are comparable to named containers or locations for values that are used during program execution. In games, they are used to count values such as life points or items. The values can be retrieved by the engine and linked to conditions in the game. | |||
