Every variable has to be declared before we can use it, right? A common way to do this is to use a type and a name.

What type might be a good type choice for a variable called myNumber?

Sweet, we've successfully declared myNumber! Still, if we want to use it, we have to give, or assign, a value to it.

Yikes! Although we can use strings for most values, it's better to use a data type that is specifically made for numbers where we can.
