Variables
In programming, variables are used to store data values. These values can be of different data types, such as strings, integers, floating-point numbers, boolean, arrays, or objects. Variables are assigned names so that they can be referenced in the code. They can be any size and shape, and can hold anything from numbers to strings of text. You can use variables to keep track of things like user input, or the result of a calculation. The name of a variable can be anything you want, as long as it doesn’t start with a number and isn’t a reserved word in the language. Once a variable is given a value, that value can be changed throughout the program by reassigning the variable. Variables are one of the most important tools in programming, and understanding how to use them is essential to becoming a good programmer.

String Variables
-
A string variable is simply a variable that can hold multiple pieces of text (a word, phrase, or sentence). However, sometimes we need to store more than just text. We might want to store a person's name, which can be multiple words. In this case, we need to use a string variable.
Php
Example of string variable in php.
<?php
$name = 'John';

print($name); // John
Javascript
Example of string variable in javascript.
var name = 'John';

console.log(name); // John
Python
Example of string variable in python.
name = 'John'

print(name) # John
Dart
Example of string variable in dart.
void main() {
 var name = 'John';

 print(name); // John
}

Go
Example of string variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var name string = "John"

	fmt.Println(name) // John
}

Integer Variables
-
An integer variable is a data type in computer programming that stores numerical values. Integer variables can be used to represent whole numbers, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. They can also be used to represent negative numbers, such as -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, etc. Integer variables are commonly used in programs to store counts or loop indices.
Php
Example of integer variable in php.
<?php
$age = 30;

print($age); // 30
Javascript
Example of integer variable in javascript.
var age = 30;

console.log(age); // 30
Python
Example of integer variable in python.
age = 30

print(age) # 30
Dart
Example of integer variable in dart.
void main() {
 var age = 30;

 print(age); // 30
}
Go
Example of integer variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var age int = 30

	fmt.Println(age) // 30
}

Float Variables
-
Float variables, like integer variables, hold numerical values but are presented in decimal form. It is possible to represent decimal numbers such as 1.01, 2.20, 3.33, 4.44, 5.555, etc. in float variables. They can also be used to represent negative decimal numbers, such as -1.01, -2.20, -3.33, -4.44, -5.555, etc.
Php
Example of float variable in php.
<?php
$pi = 3.14;

print($pi); // 3.14
Javascript
Example of float variable in javascript.
var pi = 3.14;

console.log(pi); // 3.14
Python
Example of float variable in python.
pi = 3.14

print(pi) # 3.14

Dart
Example of float variable in dart.
void main() {
 var pi = 3.14;

 print(pi); // 3.14
}

Go
Example of float variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var pi float32 = 3.14

	fmt.Println(pi) // 3.14
}

Boolean Variables
-
A boolean variable is a type of data that can only have one of two possible values, either true or false. In programming, boolean variables are often used to track whether a certain condition has been met, or to control the flow of a program. For example, a program might use a Boolean variable to keep track of whether a user is logged in or not.
Php
Example of boolean variable in php.
<?php
$is_truthy = true;
$is_falsy = false;

print($is_truthy); // true
print($is_truthy); // false
Javascript
Example of boolean variable in javascript.
var isTruthy = true;
var isFalsy = false;

console.log(isTruthy); // true
console.log(isFalsy); // false
Python
Example of boolean variable in python.
isTruthy = True
isFalsy = False

print(isTruthy) # True
print(isFalsy) # False
Dart
Example of boolean variable in dart.
void main() {
 var isTruthy = true;
 var isFalsy = false;

 print(isTruthy); // true
 print(isFalsy); // false
}
Go
Example of boolean variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var isTruthy bool = true
	var isFalsy bool = false

	fmt.Println(isTruthy) // true
	fmt.Println(isFalsy) // false
}

Array Variables
-
Array variables are used in many programming languages to store data sets of various sizes. An array is a type of data structure that stores a collection of elements. Each element in the array has a specific index, which can be used to access it.
Php
Example of array variable in php.
<?php
$fruits = array('apple', 'banana', 'cherry');

print($fruits[1]); // banana
Javascript
Example of array variable in javascript.
var fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];

console.log(fruits[1]); // banana
Python
Example of array variable in python.
fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry']

print(fruits[1]) # banana
Dart
Example of array variable in dart.
void main() {
 var fruits = ['apple', 'banana', 'cherry'];

 print(fruits[1]); // banana
}
Go
Example of array variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var fruits = [3]string{"apple", "banana", "cherry"}

	fmt.Println(fruits[1]) // banana
}

Object Variables
-
An object variable is a type of variable that is used to reference an object. The value of an object variable is an address that identifies the location of the object in memory. When an object is assigned to an object variable, a new reference to the object is created. An object is a type of data structure that holds a collection of properties and methods. For each property and method, a name is used to access them.
Php
Example of object variable in php.
<?php
class Person {
	public $name, $age;

	function __construct($name, $age) {
		$this->name = $name;
		$this->age = $age;
	}

	public function greet() {
		print('Hello my name is ' . $this->name);
	}
}

$human = new Person('John', 36);

print($human->name); // John
print($human->age); // 36
$human->greet(); // Hello my name is John
Javascript
Example of object variable in javascript.
class Person {
	constructor(name, age) {
		this.name = name;
		this.age = age;
	}

	greet() {
		console.log('Hello my name is ' + this.name);
	}
}

var human = new Person('John', 36);

console.log(human.name); // John
console.log(human.age); // 36
human.greet(); // Hello my name is John
Python
Example of object variable in python.
class Person:
	def __init__(self, name, age):
		self.name = name
		self.age = age

	def greet(self):
		print('Hello my name is ' + self.name)


human = Person('John', 36)

print(human.name) # John
print(human.age) # 36
human.greet() # Hello my name is John

Dart
Example of object variable in dart.
class Person {
 String name;
 int age;

 Person(this.name, this.age);

 void greet() {
	 print('Hello my name is ' + this.name);
 }
}

void main() {
 var human = new Person('John', 36);

 print(human.name); // John
 print(human.age); // 36
 human.greet(); // Hello my name is John
}
Go
Example of object variable in go.
package main

import "fmt"

type Person struct {
	name string
	age int
}

func (p Person) greet() {
	fmt.Println("Hello my name is " + p.name)
}

func main() {
	var human = Person{"John", 36}

	fmt.Println(human.name) // John
	fmt.Println(human.age) // 36
	human.greet()		 // Hello my name is John
}
