Chapter 4 – Variables, Lists, and Functions

1. Assignment happens any time a variable is given a new value. This happens when a variable is first created in ink and can also happen on single lines of code.
2. A new string created based on two strings being added, or between a string and numerical value, is known as concatenation.
3. The tilde defines a single line of code in ink. It is often used with assignment, to call a function, or to perform some other single-line action.
4. The values in a list are part of a Boolean set. This means they are either true or false. In ink, all values in a list are set to false by default. To change to true, they must be surrounded by opening and closing parentheses.
5. The technical term for a variable defined as part of a function or a knot is a parameter. It affects the calculations or how content is processed by the function.
