Understanding variables in Honeycode
Variables, in general, are placeholders that can assume or be assigned different values based on the context. In Honeycode too, they serve a similar feature and while we did come across and set variables in the previous chapters, we did not spend time detailing their importance, which we will cover in this section.
In Honeycode, there are two types of variables, distinguished by how they are made available: user-defined variables and system variables. They will both be discussed in the following subsections. In terms of representation, both types of variables are represented the same way: $[Variable_Name].
User-defined variables
In Honeycode, user-defined variables are created and configured only through a data cell. As noted in Chapter 2, Introduction to Honeycode, a data cell allows us to display data from a table by creating direct mapping to it. At the same time, it can also be used to pass data from one app screen to another, as well...
