Start HereComments
Leave notes in your code for yourself and others — without affecting how it runs.
Read LessonVariables
Store any kind of information — names, numbers, anything — and use it whenever you need.
Read LessonData Types
Numbers, text, booleans — learn the different kinds of data your program can work with.
