    A variable is a symbolic name that represents a memory location where a value can be stored. Different variable types exist for storing different kinds of data, such as numeric, character, and Boolean values. Numeric variable types include integers of various sizes like short, int, long, and floating point types like float and double that can store fractional values. Each variable type has an assigned range of values it can hold and number of bytes used in memory.
