	A variable is a symbol that can represent a number. You can think of a variable as a bucket that you can put a number into. You label the bucket with a name, like “apples”. Then, when you want to check your number, you search for the bucket named “apples”, and look inside of it. This way, instead of remembering that number, you only have to remember the name of the variable.		A variable is a symbol that can represent a number.

Then, when you want to check your number, you search for the bucket named “apples”, and look inside of it. This way, instead of remembering that number, you only have to remember the name of the variable.

	~~In this case, whenever we check the variable “apples”, it will be equal to 42~~

	You can create new variables by opening the ''Variables'' section from the deck settings menu and selecting “Add New Variable”. Variables are great for setting special reusable numbers for your deck, but there are other uses for them as well. We’ll dive deeper into those in the next and final section.
