Variables are used to store one or more values on a computer program. Imagine you have a box that stores 6 pieces of apple, but they are in different color, so you decide to group similar items together, and store them in boxes. This would allow you better access to each item (apple). Now, you have three boxes, one with Red apples, one with Green apples, and another one with Yellow apples. You have to sort the right type of box to get the required item.
