The video tutorial explains the concept of variables in coding, focusing on Java. It covers the two main types of variables: primitive and reference. Primitive variables store basic data types like integers, doubles, and booleans, while reference variables point to memory locations for objects like strings. The tutorial uses analogies like baggies and arrows to illustrate these concepts. It also guides viewers on creating and initializing variables, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right data type, naming the variable, and optionally assigning an initial value.
