52 +# Names of variables
53 +
54 +The names of your variables are restricted to some constraints:
55 +* It must only contain the standard letters (a-z and A-Z), digits (0-9), and underscore (\_ ),
56 +* It has to begin with a standard letter (a-z or A-Z),
57 +* It must not be equal to a predefined constant or function (see [expression syntax](Expression-Syntax-For-Generic-Applets.md))
58 +
59 +It is not excluded that other names may also work, but it is highly recommended to stick to the constraints given above.
60 +
61 +Variable names are case sensitive, e.g.
62 +```LaTeX
63 +\begin{variables}
64 + \number{a}{12}
65 + \function{A}{a+2}
66 +\end{variables}
67 +```
68 +results in two variables, one named `a` with value 12 and one named `A` with value 14.
