Learn About Variables

Variables

In programming, a variable is a container to store information that can be used at a later time.

In Quorum, there are four types of basic variables: text, number, integer and boolean. Each type of variable holds a different kind of information.

In this first example, we will create a text variable, which holds a text string of anything you want to type in. We'll explain the other types in the next sections.

Notice that a text string is enclosed in two double quotation marks.
