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
