| - | + | A variable is a symbolic name given to some quantity, for the purpose of allowing the name to be used independently of the information it represents. The scope of a variable is local to the model it is used in. On the other hand, its extend is limited to the Group of Rules its used as an input or output. The value linked to a variable may change during the execution of a model. | |
