# 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.
