# Assignment Operator
Use an equals sign to make a [variable](/blocks/variables/var) store the [number](/types/number)
or [string](/types/string) you say.
When you use the equals sign to store something in a variable, the equals sign is called
an *assignment operator*, and what you store is called a *value*.
## Storing numbers in variables
This program makes the variable `item` equal `5` and then shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
````blocks
let item = 5
basic.showNumber(item)
````
## Storing strings in variables
This program makes the variable `name` equal `Joe` and then shows it on the [LED screen](/device/screen).
````blocks
let name = "Joe"
basic.showString(name);
````
## Notes
You can use the assignment operator with variables of
every [type](/types). A *type* is which kind of thing
a variable can store, like a number or string.

## Example: show the value of a variable
Use the assignment operator to set the value of a [variable](/blocks/variables/var). Change the value of a variable from 0 to 1 using the change item block. Then display the new value of the variable on the LED screen. Like this:
```blocks
let x = 0;
x += 1;
basic.showNumber(x);
```

# Local Variables
How to define and use local variables.
## @parent language
A variable is a place where you can store and retrieve data. Variables have a name, a [type](/types), and value:
* *name* is how you'll refer to the variable
* *type* refers to the kind of data a variable can store
* *value* refers to what's stored in the variable
## Var statement
Use the Block Editor variable statement to create a variable
and the [assignment operator](/blocks/variables/assign)
to store something in the variable.
For example, this code stores the number `2` in the `x` variable:
```blocks
let x = 2;
```
Here's how to define a variable in the Block Editor:
1. Click `variables`.
2. Change the default variable name if you like.
3. Drag a block type on the right-side of the [assignment operator](/blocks/variables/assign) and click the down arrow to change the variable name.
A variable is created for the number returned by the [brightness](/reference/led/brightness) function.
```blocks
let b = led.brightness();
```
## Using variables
Once you've defined a variable, just use the variable's name whenever you need what's stored in the variable. For example, the following code shows the value stored in `counter` on the LED screen:
```blocks
let counter = 1;
basic.showNumber(counter);
```
To change the contents of a variable use the assignment operator. The following code sets `counter` to 1 and then increments `counter` by 10:
```blocks
let counter = 1;
counter = counter + 10;
basic.showNumber(counter);
```
## Why use variables?
If you want to remember and modify data, you'll need a variable.
A counter is a great example:
```blocks
let counter = 0;
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
counter = counter + 1;
basic.showNumber(counter);
});
```
## Local variables
Local variables exist only within the function or block of code where they're defined. For example:
```blocks
// x does NOT exist here.
if (led.brightness() > 128) {
// x exists here
let x = 0;
}
```
### Notes
* You can use the default variable names if you'd like, however, it's best to use descriptive variable names. To change a variable name in the editor, select the down arrow next to the variable and then click "new variable".
