Why are spam and eggs called placeholder variables? What is a placeholder variable?

Answer 1

It doesn't have to be spam and eggs, can be anything you like. But I think spam and eggs is a reference to an old comedy show called Month Python.

I've also seen foo and bar, but like I said, you can name them almost what you like, there are a few rules.

Placeholder variables just mean the name you give to variables so you can reference them in your code.
