On this page about Variable:
In computer science and mathematics, a variable (IPA pronunciation: [ˈvɛɹiəbl]) (sometimes called a pronumeral) is a symbolic representation denoting a quantity or expression. In mathematics, a variable often represents an "unknown" quantity that has the potential to change; in computer science, it represents a place where a quantity can be stored. Variables are often contrasted with constants, which are known and unchanging.
