Variables
A variable is an identified, named place in a script to store information. It has a name, a type and a value. Variable names are limited to 255 characters and must start with letters or the "_" underscore character. Anything else will be ignored or an error generated.
LSL accepts seven types of variable data: string, integer, float, vector, rotation, key, or list.. We will discuss each type briefly below.
A variable can operate in only part of a script or in all of it. The next page of this tutorial Using Variables talks more about assigning and using variables.
Converting one type of variable to another is called "typecasting."
