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.
None of us can do that unless you tell us what he thinks the word "variable" means. The terminology is a bit fluid. I suspect that your friend applying a somewhat restricted notion of "variable" that coincides with the behavior of variables in some other language.
