Storing variables

You're building your first Python project - a recipe scaler! Before you can scale recipes, you need to learn how to store ingredient information. In Python, you use variables to store values you'll use multiple times. For recipes, you'll need to store ingredient names (text, called strings) and quantities (whole numbers, called integers). Let's start by storing information for a pasta recipe.

  • Create a variable called pasta_type and store the string "spaghetti" in it.
