variable and function names must use Snake Case. A variable or function name must start with lowercase letter a-z or an underscore _, can contain letters a-zA-Z and numbers 0-9, and underscores _ and might end with a question mark ? or exclamation mark !

Integer values are whole numbers with one or more digits. you can perform basic mathematical operations on them
