Variables
Saving and reusing data effectively in programming often requires the use of variables.
To ensure clear and error-free programming, certain rules must be followed when naming variables. Here are some guidelines:
- Variable names must not start with a number or with a period followed by a number;
- They should not include the
%
symbol; - They must not begin with an underscore
_
; - They can start with a period if it is not followed by a number.
Choosing meaningful variable names is considered best practice. For instance, naming a variable year
to store the value 2020
is more intuitive than using nondescript names like a
or b
. While this isn't mandatory, it significantly enhances code readability for both the author and others.
To assign a value to a variable, the assignment operator =
is used. For example, year = 2020
assigns the value 2020
to the variable named year
:
year = 2020 cat(year)

Regarding the deposit task, let's assign the relevant data to variables using the assignment operator:
- Assign the initial amount of money,
2000
, to the variable namedinitial_money
. - Assign the interest rate,
13
, to the variable namedinterest_rate
. - Assign the number of years,
4
, to the variable namedn_years
. - Use the
cat()
function to display the values ofinitial_money
,interest_rate
, andn_years
in the order they were created.
