The Magic Box

Hoppy finds a glowing blue box. He realizes he can store energy inside it to use later.

In Python, we call these boxes Variables. You give the box a name, and put a value inside it.

How to use it

energy = 10

This means: "Create a box named energy, and put the number 10 inside it."

Store Energy

Create a variable named energy and set it to 100.

Check it

Print the energy variable to see what's inside.

No Quotes

When you print a variable, do NOT use quotes!

Correct: print(energy) (prints 100)

Wrong: print("energy") (prints the word "energy")
