y = x # the equal sign will give the variable name on the left the value of the thing on the right
z = x + y
# assignment: [variable name] = [value we want stored in variable]

print( "x:", x ) # you can print out multiple things in one print(), just separate them with commas

# the print on line 7 first prints the string "x:" then prints the value of the variable x
