@akshajsrivastava Variables are used in computer programming to store and manipulate data. A variable is like a container that holds a value, and the value can be changed throughout the program as needed.

 

Here’s an example of how variables are used in Python programming language: 

x = 5
y = 3
z = x + y
print(z)

@Rivek.t Thanks for the wonderful explanation. May I know if there is any restriction on the number of times, a specific variable can be redefined?

@akshajsrivastava You’re most welcome. There is typically no restriction on the number of times a variable can be redefined or reassigned in most programming languages, but it is recommended to limit it for clarity and readability of the code.

This is a good use of the title and description of the question.

And the answer is also well presented.

In programming, a variable is a value that can change, depending on conditions or on information passed to the program.
