231,275 PointsPerhaps these hints will help:
- in an assignment, the variable being set goes on the left of the equal sign, the value goes on the right
- to create a variable, you use just its name on the left side of the assignment (never the word "variable")
- also never put quotes around a variable name, that makes a literal string
