What happens to the variable value set during the transaction, if its rollback?

DECLARE @my_age INT = 20;

BEGIN TRAN
SET @my_age += 30;
ROLLBACK;

SELECT @my_age;

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Answer:

Even though the transaction is rolled back, the value set to the variable remains same.
