TEXT:00,Variable names can be any length in size, and can both be real words
TEXT:16,or made up ones that border on nonsense, as long as the name itself is
TEXT:16,meaningful to the programmer. However, Euphoria does place some limits
TEXT:16,on what you can use for a variable name. First of all, variable names
TEXT:16,must start with a letter and then can be followed by any combination of
TEXT:16,letters, numbers and the underscore ("_"). Second, case is significant.
TEXT:16,This means the variable name "tax" is not the same as "TAX". Finally,
TEXT:16,words used in the Euphoria language cannot be used as a variable name.
TEXT:16,They include, but are not limited to, words like "and", "global",
TEXT:16,"function", "while", and "exit". These words are called "reserved
TEXT:16,words". A complete list can be found in the Euphoria Reference Manual.
TEXT:32,Now that we have completed our understanding of variables, let's move on
TEXT:16,to learn about the type of data we can store inside a variable.
