Assignment Operator
Use an equals sign to make a variable store the number or string you say.
When you use the equals sign to store something in a variable, the equals sign is called an assignment operator, and what you store is called a value.
Storing numbers in variables
This program makes the variable item equal 5 and then shows it on the LED screen.
let item = 5
basic.showNumber(item)
Storing strings in variables
This program makes the variable name equal Joe and then shows it on the LED screen.
let name = "Joe"
basic.showString(name);
Notes
You can use the assignment operator with variables of every type. A type is which kind of thing a variable can store, like a number or string.
