One of these things don't belong:

A string variable is a variable holding a string.
A float variable is a variable holding a float.
An int variable is a variable holding an int.
A list variable is a variable holding a list.
A "class variable" is an attribute of a class object, holding an
  object of arbitrary type, which is shared by all instances 
  of the class.

Please don't use the term "class variable" to mean class attribute.
