] | There's a common way to store multiple values in one variable, by using a bitmask. For example, if a user has read, write and execute privileges on an item, that can be converted to a single number by saying `read = 4 (2^2), write = 2 (2^1), execute = 1 (2^0)` and then add them together to get 7.
