How to I send a variable through a serial port message?

I'm trying to get a message through a serial port print function. Here's the line of code I have in the void setup:

Serial.begin(9600);

And in the void loop:

Serial.print("myVariable");

I want to print the value of the variable back to the computer, but it instead prints "myVariable." How do I get it to print the value of the variable, instead of its name?

How do I get it to print the value of the variable, instead of its name?

Drop the quotes.
