In mathematics it is common to use a single letter to represent a variable, in programming descriptive variables are used to make it easier for whoever is reading the code to understand what is going on. You may remember what `x` is when writing the code, but when you revise it in the future, it may not be easy to remember what `x` represented in your 200 lines of code. In engineering it is encourage to use descriptive (such as `velocity_data`) or common convention symbols (`omega` for angular velocity). For this section arbitrary variables are used for the purpose of showing how variables works. #### Declaring and Assigning Variables |
