You can start here. If you use Storyline360, you can also sign up for Articulate Live webinars about variables; there is a whole series coming up in Dec. (Dec. 17, 19, 20, 21).
There is no inherent value to variables, so you will gain nothing by learning about them. On the other hand,when you come to the point in your authoring career where you need to do certain things,and it appears SL can't do them, then variables may be the only solution for you. For example, "How can I get SL to remember what information a user enters, or what choice a user makes?" When that is your question, then you are ready to start using variables.

Hi Pankaj,
Basically, variables will hold a value like String(Text), Number, Boolean (True/False).
In Storyline, variables may be Constant or Dynamic.
See screen below if you want to create your first variable.
If you want to set your variable, you can add a Trigger and Adjust variable.

For a simple explanation of variables and how to use them, see this post: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-do-i-start-working-with-variables
