I'm trying to test out "Variables" and I typed this...
print (MyFavoriteFood) = Tacos
What am I doing wrong?
Variables
Variables
are created in their own initial statements - they cannot be created within
another statement. For example, if you wanted to make a variable for the text Tacos
, having the variable name be MyFavoriteFood
, you must format it like this:
-- Variable created in it's own statement MyFavoriteFood = "Tacos" -- Now printing the variable as a seperate instruction print(MyFavoriteFood) -- Prints the variable value (Tacos)
Also notice that there are quotation marks around Tacos
. This is called a string value
, and is vital to understand before you move on to anything else in programming. Hope this helped, just let me know if you have any questions.
