### What are Variables ?

Hence , we know that a variable in C++ needs a *name* and a *data type* and that the value stored in them can be changed.
### Data Types in C++ :
When declaring variables in c++ they must have a name to which you will reffer later on, a value (constant or not) and a type.
The type will tell the compiler the values that the variable can use, the possible operations and will save a certain space in memmory.

You can imagine different boxes of different sizes and storing different things as different variables.
**NOTES :**
1. **The C++ compiler ignores whitespaces and they are generally used for beautification of the code so that it is eassy for any programmer to debug or understand the code.**
