## Showing the final values of the variables
To finish our program, we can add code that tells the Micro:bit to display the final values of our variables.
To finish our program, we can add code that tells the micro:bit to display the final values of our variables.
Since we have already used buttons A and B, we can use the ‘on shake’ event handler block to trigger this event.
We can use the ‘show string’, ‘show leds’, ‘pause’, and ‘show number’ blocks to display these final values in a clear way.
Here is the complete program.

Some of the best products come out of seemingly crazy ideas that can ultimately be worked into the design of something useful. What kind of holder can you design to hold the Micro:bit securely?
