Variable Assignment
In Python, a variable allows you to refer to a value with a name. To create a variable x with a value of 5, you use =, like this example:
x = 5
You can now use the name of this variable, x, instead of the actual value, 5.
Remember, = in Python means assignment, it doesn't test equality! Try it in the exercise by replacing ____ with your code.
