Assigning variables

Assigning variables means you can write more complex code. Using variables also makes the code you write more interpretable since you are labeling the pieces of information rather than having them as raw pieces of data.

You are writing a script to calculate your average running pace from your last two runs. You want to assign your run times and distances to variables so you can process them later.
