String favoriteColor = "white" ;

  1. First the data type definition (specify what tipe of data the variable will be)

  2. then the variable name. Remember only letters and numbers, cannot start with a number, and can only have underscore _ like in favorite_color. Also very important in Java, variable names are case sensitive. favoriteColor is not the same as favoritecolor.

  3. then the equal sign = as you want to assign a value to that variable

  4. and then the value, that in this case is a string so you need the double "

  5. finally close the command line with the semi-colon ;
