Variables Part 2 of 7 - in the series: Programming is so easy - The 6 concepts of programming you need to learn You probably all know the famous Windows error messages that are as meaningful as a menu in Chinese characters. What do these funny number sequences mean? A computer stores all the data it wants to work with in the RAM (Read And Write Memory). Since there are many possible locations for storing data, there is a special logic for naming these locations in the RAM.

The problem with these "memory addresses" is that they are far too long and complicated for us. We would much rather use a simple word to say: "my number is now stored in memory in the place called 'number_1'." And this is where VARIABLES come into play. Variable
