An important Unix concept is the environment, which is defined by environment variables. Some are set by the system, others by you, yet others by the shell, or any program that loads another program.
A variable is a character string to which we assign a value. The value assigned could be a number, text, filename, device, or any other type of data. For example, first we set a variable TEST and then we access its value using the echo command
TEST="Unix Programming" echo $TEST
It produces the following result.
Unix Programming

TEST
