You cannot add variables to a compiler, a compiler is a program. You can only add variables to the source code.

Do you have a grammar, parser, lexer? Then your compiler should be able to recognize an assignment expression. Left side = variable name, right side = value. Create a variable "container" and put that value into it.

Maybe try a Dictionary?

Usually a symbol table serves to the purpose. See, for instance: Compiler Design - Symbol Table[^].
