Variables

Variables allow you to store, retrieve, and manipulate data within the script. They are essential for keeping track of changing values, such as sensor readings, user inputs, or counters.

Note: Before using a variable, you typically create it through a corresponding section in the toolbox. Once created, it can be used and modified throughout your program. Variables are case-sensitive and should have meaningful names to make your code easier to understand.
