# JavaScript variables

The basic concept of any programming language is variable. A variable is a container in which we can store any data, for example, strings or numbers.

Each variable must have a name, the latter can consist of Latin letters, numbers, symbols `$` and underscores. The first character of the variable name must not be a digit. Variable names examples: `str`, `my_str`, `myStr`, `a1`, `$`, `$a`, `$$a`.
