Learn to Code - Lesson 01 - Variables and Basic Data Types

We'll be bringing you four lessons this week to teach you how to code. This is the first: a look at variables and basic data types. In future lessons we'll be looking at how to use these variables, creating more complex data types and logic statements, and bringing it all together to make a simple guessing game.

Be sure to check out all the lessons:
