                      Reading time: 1min

                      Variables are defined by writing a name for a variable next to the pound symbol # and the minimum and maximum value between which it's comprised.

                      There are two details to note:

                      • The variable's name can be any letter or word without spaces, excluding reserved words (e.g. sin, cos).
                      • The minimum and maximum values can be any integer value such that the first one is less or equal than the second one.
