⭐ Step 2 — Variables

A variable is a box that holds a value. Picking a name for the box that makes sense helps you remember what’s inside.

Let’s give our program three boxes, each holding some emojis.

✏️ What to type

Under the # variables line, add three boxes:

world = '🌍🌎🌏'
python = 'Python 🐍'
fire = '🔥'

# imports

# variables

# Function definitions

# Put code to run under here
print(f'Hello')

Tap ▶ Run. The output is still just Hello — we made the boxes but haven’t used them yet. That’s coming next.

🔍 Tip

The quotes around the emojis tell Python “these are letters and symbols, not a box name.”
