The **`<var>`** element in HTML defines a text as a variable and can be used to define variables of a mathematical expression or variables of a piece of code. The text enclosed in the `<var>` element is normally displayed in italics.

> Note: The `<var>` element supports all global attributes and event attributes.

# Example
The following example demonstrates how to use the `<var>` element in HTML.

<html>
 <head>
 </head>
 <body>
   <div>
     <p>
      #include <stdio.h>
 
      int main()
      {
        int <var> n </var> = 5;
        <br>
        int <var> sum </var> = 0; 
        <br>
        int <var> i </var> = 3;
        <br>
        <var> sum </var> = <var> n </var> + <var> i </var>;
        <br>
        printf("Sum of the integers = %d\n", <var> sum </var>);
        <br>
        return 0;
      }
     </p>
   </div>
 </body>
</html>

The example above shows the code to add two numbers written in HTML. Each of the variables appears italicized because they are enclosed in a `<var>` tag. The `<br>` tag is added for formatting.
