I can accept that a variable is a container that a symbol points to.

That reminds me of a memory address in C.  That also seems to imply
that the variable can change and hence the value associated with a symbol
can change.

What is the container/variable for this construct in C???

#define PI 3.14159

Likewise in Scheme.... (define pi 3.14159)

There really isn't an obvious address in the picture in these cases.

Chris

but this PI of yours is not a C-language symbol - it is munched by the pre-processor, and the compiler just sees the number.

no idea how this is handled in scheme.
