# Variable A variable is a simple wrapper for a value to be placed in a scope. The variable class specified a couple properties, including: * Whether the variable is read-only * Whether the variable is static-typed. * Whether a getter/setter should be used, rather than the value * Whether the variable is public or private (only applicable within specific senarios) In Cheddar, all scope values are `CheddarVariable`s but this rule is not enforced. If a variable is not wrapped as a CheddarVariable, an uncaught error may occur. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
