Variables

Time to complete: 5 minutes

##Goal: store a value in a variable and output it

Being able to output the results of calculations or strings is great, but what if we want to store it and work with it? This is where variables come in. In JS, var lets you store any type of value, such as strings or numbers. Try it now:

var myName = "Bob";
var myAge = 14;
myAge = myAge * 2;
console.log(myName);
console.log(myAge);

Remember to click ‘update’ once you’re done!

Try storing ‘dog’ in a variable called animal and output it to continue.
