Variables let you store values and use them later. Think of a variable as a labeled box — you put something in, and you can look at it whenever you need it.

Two ways to create variables

bubblecode gives you two English-like ways to assign a value:

put "Alice" into name
set age to 25
 
say name
say age

Both put ... into and set ... to do the same thing — pick whichever reads more naturally to you.

Using variables with say

You can print variables alongside text using the && operator, which joins values with a space:

put "Alice" into name
put 25 into age
 
say "Name:" && name
say "Age:" && age

Changing a variable

Variables can be updated at any time. The new value replaces the old one.

put 10 into score
say "Score:" && score
 
put 20 into score
say "New score:" && score

Exercise

-- Store a color and print it

say ""
