# Variables

## Creating Variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Solstice, you can initialize a variable using the syntax:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```solstice
|
||
|
|
name = value
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* `name` is the name of your variable. You can use all letters in variable names, as well as underscores and numbers.
|
||
|
|
* The standard way to name your variables in Solstice is with `camelCase`.
|
||
|
|
* `value` is some sort of value. This value can be:
|
||
|
|
* an integer (number with no decimal place)
|
||
|
|
* a double (number with a decimal place)
|
||
|
|
* a string (collection of characters, as seen before)
|
||
|
|
* a character (a single letter)
|
||
|
|
* a boolean (either `true` or `false`)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We'll look at types of values in the next part.

|
## Recalling Variables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Recall a variable's content by using it's name:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```solstice
|
||
|
|
puts name
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where `name` is the name of your variable.
