5. Variables
The document discusses variables in programming, including what variables are (an address in memory with a type and name), different variable types like integers, floats, and strings, and how to declare and initialize variables to use them in a program. It also covers system variables in Processing that provide useful information like mouse position, frame rate, and screen dimensions. Examples are provided to demonstrate declaring and using variables.
