What are Variables?

try.codeaesthe... has experiments for this video. Help gary in his scheme to automate his jobs.
%d stands for "decimal", as in decimal numbers (base 10). Like all things computers, integers are actually represented in binary (0s and 1s). Printf then converts the binary to decimal numbers - which are the standard numbers we know and love. In gcc, to print binary you can use %b.

I thought this was going to be a lower level, "what are variables to the computer", not a C tutorial, but it was still an interesting watch.

[@Jabberwockybird]

C is pretty low level considering the modern web brained landscape.
But I also would like to see a definition of variables that comes more from the perspective of machine code and memory addressed and how compiled languages come into it.

[@DaSquyd]

Variables don't exist at a low level. They’re an abstraction that only exist in high level languages like C.

[@lolcat69]

Variables are a high level concept, not a real thing, they are just memory locations that have a name and a type, an abstraction on top of memory, the actual data used by the program

[@Jabberwockybird]

@@DaSquyd See, they need a video explaining how variables abstract the memory locations

[@DaSquyd]

@@Jabberwockybird I mean... there are videos about stack/heap allocation if that's what you’re after.

Are there any videos coming for Code Aesthetic? Cool video!

Dear god, I am a dev with more than 5+ years working and 2 years mostly doing custom reports, templates, features using Birt and Jasper report. Why am I watching how to declare and use variables? my life comes in full circle.

[@asynchr]

Eu gosto muito dos vídeos do code aesthetic, apesar de ainda serem pouco, são muito didático e sucintos além de trazer várias técnicas que a maioria só aprende com experiência, algo que sinto faltar na maioria dos canais de tutorial/ensino para devs.

[@khai96x]

Variables is actually a mathematical concept. In Math, all variables are immutable, but unlike constants, the value of a variable still depends on other factor.

[@joshuachan6317]

When I was learning Python, I thought variables are boxes that stores data
When I am learning Rust, now I think variables are references to data already existing in RAM

[@lev-th]

The first one is closer to the truth. "Variable" is just a name for a place in memory, hence a name of the box that stores data. It's completely fine to think of a variable as a box that stores data. Variable is not a reference, that would be a syntax sugared pointer to a variable, and that pointer (or reference) is itself stored in a variable.

[@Shnugs]

Was hoping for some philosophical dive into “what” a variable is.

[@enguerranddesmet3313]

Really Cool ! Just small question: with what "tool"(lib) are you animating this video ?

[@Carlos-kh5qu]

it's a custom tool made by him i think

[@MrMudbill]

I saw a video a while back about something doing this type of animation in PowerPoint of all things.

[@luxluth]

It may be manim or a custom tool

[@user-qm2zg6rj9m]

is it Data or DATA ?

[@franck8731]

I'm gonna nitpicking and say that at 7:43, the hourly rate is displayed in the terminal as 28 instead of 25.
Anyway, great video!

[@MrMudbill]

You mean the number of hours is using the rate variable, and displaying 28 instead of 25. The rate is 28, as it should be.

[@whtiequillBj]

it is beautifully presented but, wouldn't macros or a Visual Basic script in Word or a LibreOffice BASIC script in Writer be more efficient these days? Rather then a C program and using troff?

[@yankeebastard8684]

This is a channel about C. The point of the video isn't about the best way to specifically make a prompt for HR

This video is for novices.
