Hey Ed, thx for replying.
What I meant is that a variable is a place in memory and "THAT"
place in memory needs to be able to hold a value. How does the computer
accomplish this?
ie)
int x;
x = 5;
X is just a place in memory that we have named x for human
readability purposes. Now x (the place in memory we have named x) holds
the value five. How does it accomplish this??
