My Variables Practice

Variables allow us to store information and produce an output when used within our program. To make variables you have to have dollar signs before the name of you variables and have it equal your desired output.

I think that php is similar to coding room but it can be tedious because you have to save your work manually as it doesn't save immediately.

Life has recently changed for me as a new addition has been welcomed to the household. Although I love babies, it feels a bit odd to know that I have a newborn sibling that I'm basically 18 yrs older than. I mean by the time he's 18 I'll be 36 years old, almost in my 40's! If anything I feel like I will be like an aunty to him especially since I will be away for college in a few months. I still love him even when he's be a little dramatic baby though so I'm sure it'll work itself out. This is about to be a very interesting exxperience indeed.

For variables you have to have a $ before the name of your variable
variables store information until it's needed in the code
when calling your variable you have to echo it so it can output correctly

Reflection:

The coding process itself was pretty straight forward as it was basically the same thing as the notes, just went more in depth. One thing that I had struggled with was remembering that I had to echo my variables for them to ouput correctly. I also had forgotten that I had to be careful of when I call variables because I couldn't call the variables before I used the variable because it wouldn't output correctly. I learned the importance of running your program while working.
