Variables different with =

[vmoreno2605]

Hi everyone! I have a question

Why is it different if i use "=" in a variable and if i don't use it? How does this work?

Hi

The = will calculate the variable before it is used in an expression, if you don't use an = then within the expression you will need to evaluate it by using the $.
