We can provide variables with a value by updating a value to the variable
An = (equal sign) is used to assign a value to variable
This process of updating/changing variable’s value is also referred to as assigning a value to a variable
let firstName
// assigning a value to the variable
firstName = "Cletus"
We can both declare and assign variables in one step
This would be done if the developer wanted to set the initial value of the variable
// declare and assign an intial value to a variable
let score = 0
= (equal sign) to change or reassign a value of a variable// declare and assign a value of 0 to the score variable
let score = 0
// changing the value of the score variable from 0 to 3
score = 3
