To remember things, computers use variables, a concept that's a lot like boxes with labels. Variables, too, have a label and content.

Which two answers might be correct about this particular variable?

Its label is my birthdayIts content is 1970/1/1That's not a variable

Great! Just like you'd label a box my birthday, it makes sense to call a variable my birthday, right?

Why wouldn't this be a variable? It has a label and content, doesn't it?
