//Variables are like ______ in a form. 

// Note: Anything you everything you type is case sensitive! Remeber when you use caps and don't!

​

// Remember! Code runs *TOP TO BOTTOM*, so if you don't declare the variable before you use them, the computer doesn't understand what you are telling it! 

// We declare variables before we can use them. This allows us to change the values of that variable anywhere in the code.

​

int animalAge = 20;       // this variable is a whole number

float dogs = 5;           // this variable is a number with a decimal point

boolean horse = false;    // this is a true or false statement, it can't do anything else but check if something is true or false

String verbage = "you are tiny and cute"; // this is how we display words in processing

​

println (); // prints whatever is within the brackets and adds a return at the end

print ();    // prints whatever is in the brackets, but doesn't add a return at the end.

​

// Anything between " " prints as text only. to the computer it doesn't matter what you type there, it will show it as it is

print ("rabbits are jerks "); 

print ("not really");

​

// Anything separated with a *,* displays as a separate thing. Anything separated with a + or - adds or subtracts values

println ("Rabbits of", animalAge , "years", verbage, "friends with,", dogs);
