title: Storing Values with the Assignment Operator

# --description--
In JavaScript, you can store a value in a variable with the <dfn>assignment</dfn> operator (`=`).
```js
myVariable = 5;
```
This assigns the `Number` value `5` to `myVariable`.
If there are any calculations to the right of the `=` operator, those are performed before the value is assigned to the variable on the left of the operator.
```js
var myVar;
myVar = 5;
```
First, this code creates a variable named `myVar`. Then, the code assigns `5` to `myVar`. Now, if `myVar` appears again in the code, the program will treat it as if it is `5`.
# --instructions--
Assign the value `7` to variable `a`.
# --hints--
You should not change code above the specified comment.
```js
assert(/var a;/.test(__helpers.removeJSComments(code)));
```
`a` should have a value of 7.
```js
assert(typeof a === 'number' && a === 7);
```
# --seed--
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
var a;
// Only change code below this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
var a;
a = 7;
```
