Do you think you can change a string variable by copying a number into it?

Answer:

No. You can change a string variable by replacing the string in it with another string, but not by replacing it with a number.

Practice with String Variables

Examine the following program:

' Practice Program
'
LET WORDA$ = "Elephant"
LET WORDB$ = "Stout"
PRINT WORDA$, WORDB$
'
LET WORDB$ = WORDA$
PRINT WORDA$, WORDB$
'
END

QUESTION 9:

What will the program write out on the monitor screen? (The PRINT statement will separate the output for WORDA$ and WORDB$ with a tab. Don't worry about that.)
