JavaScript Variables
Now that you are aware of JavaScript values, you are ready to enter the world of JavaScript variables.
Variables are important, not only in the context of JavaScript but in all computer programming languages. Without variables very little can happen. With variables, you unleash a tremendous amount of power and the capability to move, change, and work with all kinds of data.
Put in its simplest terms, a variable is a container, to which you assign a name, for a value (which always has a particular type) held in the memory of the computer running the JavaScript. This statement actually might make variables sound more complicated than they really are, because in the real world, they are very easy to use.
