variable's
Symbol's stored value
Variable's is the possessive form of variable.
A variable is something that can change or vary—in math or programming, a symbol representing a value that isn't fixed: The variable's value changed with each iteration.
In science, it's a factor that can be manipulated or measured: The experiment's dependent variable's behavior surprised the researchers.
