Strange explanation of the word "variable" in here. It doesn't mean "many" - more like "changeable". It's the opposite of "constant".



"many" as in "many forms". i'll work on clarifying the language


I second this "changeable" synonym instead of "many". At that point, you could also add a quick reference to mathematics, because that's where 99% of all people already got some experience with variables.

Very cool tutorial by the way, keep up the great work!
