Variables

Creating Variables

In Solstice, you can initialize a variable using the syntax:

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:

puts name

where name is the name of your variable.
