Javascript variables can hold many data types including numbers strings arrays and objects.
On this slide we can see that the first variable age contains a single numerical value sixteen.
The second variable last name stores a string.
JOHNSON The variable cars stores multiple strings.
This is known as an array will explore arrays in more detail later in this course.
The last variable person is an object object.
Variables also store multiple values but each value is relevant to an assigned property.
For this reason each name and value in an object is referred to as a single property in this case first
name.
John is our first property of the object person.
Don't worry if you find this confusing we'll work with objects later in this course.
