A variable is a name that stores something.
We use variables to remember values.
You make a variable by giving it a name and using =.
The = sign assigns a value into the variable.
age = 10 stores the number 10 in a variable called age.
score = 25 stores the number 25 in score.
Variables can store decimal numbers too.
price = 2.5 stores a decimal number.
height = 4.2 stores another decimal number.
Variables can also store words (text).
Text must be inside quotes " ".
name = "Sam" stores the word Sam.
message = "Hello" stores the word Hello.
Each line makes a new variable and saves something in it.
