Up until now, we’ve been printing values directly onto the screen. For example:

print(100)

But what if we want to remember that number and use it later? That’s where variables come in. A variable is like a labelled storage box inside your program. You give the box a name, and you put data inside it. Later, you can open that box and use whatever is stored inside.

For example:

height = 180
name = "Cruz"

Here: - height stores the number 180 - name stores the text "Cruz" The equals sign (=) means “store this value in this variable.”

Assignment:

In World of Software Engineering, we need to keep track of our hero’s health. Create a variable named: player_health Set it equal to: 1000 Then print it using:

print(player_health)

print(player_health)
