Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The variable is used to hold some value that can be used by the program. when any variable holds some value and the user will change the value from a new value, then that variable will holds the new value and the old value will erase or changed to a new value.

Answer 2

Answer:

When a new value is stored in a variable then its previous value gets overwritten.

Explanation:

• A variable is basically a container which represents a memory location.  
• When we declare a variable some bytes are reserved for storing the value of the variable.
• When we assign a variable a value the data is stored at some memory locations.
• A combination of 0s and 1s are written to those locations.
• And when we reassign the variables with different values, the combination of 0’s and 1’s changes.
• If we replace the contents, then the content is lost.
• It overwrites the previous value in memory at that location.

For example:-

a = 10

print(a)

This will give us output: 10

____________________

a = 10

a = 12

print(a)

This will give us output: 12

Hence, the previous data is lost.

Note: Python programming language is used in above examples.
