Variable is a named representation of a memory location. In simple, you need to store a value in some memory location, that is hard to remember or to reuse. variables are used to represent that memory location.
Ex: int a=10; in the above line of code, a is a variable, that represents a memory location where the value 10 is stored.
Java is a strongly typed language, it means, all the values must be specified with any of the predefined types, such as Integer, and values can also be modified later.
Ex: int x=20; // strongly Typed x=15 // Weakly Typed, no need to mention the data type here.
Python, JavaScript are examples of loosely typed languages.
