Hi Tejas,

You can assign a new value of the same datatype to a variable by simply using:

variablename = newvalue

Initial variable assignment needs to have the variable type assigned, so:

var variablename = anyvalue

A constant, which cannot be changed, is assigned as:

let variablename = anyvalue
