Indeed, but is it not a variable? Is a variable in programming not
merely a name associated with a value (which can changed over the course
of code execution)?

To All:
Folks, I need your help. I have a friend who claims that if I write:
foo = 5
then foo is NOT a variable, necessarily. If you guys can define for me
what a variable is and what qualifications you have to back you, I can
pass this along to, hopefully, convince him that foo is indeed a variable.
Thanks all!
