2 values for fact string?

Hi! Initially the fact string is declared to be "". In the end, fact is equal to facts[randomNumber]. So my question is, how does fact have 2 different values? Does the most recent value in the code override the previous one?

Thanks in advance!!

Yes, when you assign a new value to a variable, the most recent value overrides the previous one.
