TEXT:00,The previous program examples have all shown variables being initialized
TEXT:16,for the first time, and only once. What happens if a variable already
TEXT:16,contained a value, but was assigned a new value? Well, the old value
TEXT:16,of the variable would be replaced with the new value. A variable may only
TEXT:16,hold one value at any time. But this shouldn't be considered a problem,
TEXT:16,as variable value modification is just as important as initialization.
TEXT:16,Note the following example:
COLOUR:EUPHORIA
TEXT:32,atom counter
TEXT:32,counter = 0
TEXT:16,counter = counter + 1
TEXT:16,counter = counter + 1
TEXT:16,counter = counter + 1
COLOUR:STANDARD
TEXT:32,What is the value of variable "counter" after this program finishes?
