<p>
Variables that hold numeric values must begin with a letter, and may consist of any number of alpha-numeric characters.  They are case sensitive.  They may be used interchangeably with numeric constants.<br/>
<br/>
Variables that hold string values follow the same rules as numeric variables, but must end with a dollar sign ($).  They may be used interchangeably with string constants.
<br/>
When you assign a numeric value to a string variable or add a numeric value to a string (concatenate) the number will be automatically converted to a string before the operation is completed.  A string value may not be assigned directly to a numeric variable or array element without manually converting it&#039;s type using the <a href="en_int.html" class="wikilink1" title="en:int">Int</a> or <a href="en_float.html" class="wikilink1" title="en:float">Float</a> functions.
