A variable retains space in your ram to store data in it.

While programming you're going to access 1 or more times that space.

C++ provides you 2 possibilities to refer or to access that space:

1) By using a name (identifier) you chose
2) By using its address (looking like this 0x47e000)

The programmer must chose what he likes the most :p
