Because the controls and indicators including data and data types.

Wire equivalent Assignment statement。

The wire does not have data types; it is depending on the data type of controls. So the wire is not variable.

It is connected to the same nodes in data types

Sadly I never made it to the northeast. I was traveling the mainland for half a year after university. When I left Bejing, I headed towards the far west, as it was already end of september and I was trying to avoid the winter. But ice-latern festival shall really be beautiful, is it?

Propably you can open a new thread and show us some pictures and share some private impressions.

3. I just checked wikipedia on variable:

In computer programming, a variable is a symbolic name given to some known or unknown quantity or information, for the purpose of allowing the name to be used independently of the information it represents

My interpretation: So a very important point on variables is to make it human-readable like 'i' or 'pressure' and not #00123ABC. A wire doese make that identification.

Wires can be labeled and if using quick help you'll see the name, thus it do have a symbolic name. 🙂

But you can't access it from another place via the symbolic name (well, not at all in fact). The scope of this 'variable' is limited to the wire.

True. It's closer to think of the Wire as the Symbolic name (of a variable), since you need the wire/name to perform any action on the data.

On the same note, the variable name isn't the data, it's a named reference, just like this, the wire, is a drawn reference ... or something. 🙂

Just goes to show that it is not easy to compare a graphical language to a text-based one..  😉
