Concept: Initializing Variables

Creating a variable or initializing it, is one of the most fundamental concepts in programming. You can initialize a variable by simply writing down a name and assigning a value to it using the assignment operator =.

The assignment operator = expects a variable name on the left side and a value on the right side. In the example below, the name of the variable is my_first_variable and the value assigned to it is the text "Hello World".

my_first_variable = "Hello World"
