</FONT></PRE>A variable is used to store a value. It"s that simple. You can have a variable that stores any type of data, and you can have as many as you want. The following program shows you how the contents of the variable can be output to the screen:<BR>
<BR>
<PRE><FONT FACE=courier COLOR=BLUE>A = 3 + 4
PRINT A
</FONT></PRE>Now take the next example to show you how variables can be used as freely as standard number types:<BR>
<BR>
<PRE><FONT FACE=courier COLOR=BLUE>A = 2
B = 8
C = A + B
PRINT C
</FONT>
