# Variables Panel **Variable** is a container that holds some value. Depending on the type of variable, it can store numbers, text, tables, etc. The "Variables" panel in the Designer is intended for creating and deleting variables of the current diagram, as well as changing their type and initial value. In debug mode, this panel also shows the current value of each variable.

Variables are memory cells of the Robot, places for storing information necessary for its operation.
