PIL Variables

This is just a short intro on how to assign variables. There are a few that are reserved for other functions, but mostly you can name assign them any name you want.



Assigning Variables

Number variables do not have a $ in front of them and should contain only numbers. You can perform math operations with number variables but not with String Variables.
Examples:
apples := 8;
oranges := 9;
total := apples * oranges;

String Variables start with a $ and can contain numbers or letters, unlike number variables you cannot perform math functions.
Examples:
$space := ' ';
$words := *1;
$teststr := 'This is a test';

Global Assigned Variables

You cannot re-assign these and you can set your own global variables using the /define command.
