Hi @matiastorressuarez9

variables are like containers, say I want to hold the index of letter ‘H’ then I use some var names like index. Then store it inside it using = operator.

Eg:

index = alphabet.find(text[1])

Now, to print it I will use the name index.

print(*variable name*)

Eg:

num1 = 26
num2 = 1224
sum = num1 + num2

As u see, I do not say sum = 26 + 1224.

Good luck!
