The way that you put a value into the space named by the variable is called assignment:
Note that this is not the same as "=" in math. You can say things like: which means take the old value of x, add 1, and store it back into x.
int x, y;
x = 8;
y = 2 * x;
Take the value on the right of
the "=" and store it into the place
named on the left.
x = x + 1;
