Declare Character Stats

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Lua journey. Lesson 36 of 90.

Challenge

Easy

Building on your character status display header, declare the essential character variables that will store the character's information. Create three variables: name as a string with the value "Coddy", level as a number with the value 5, and hp as a number with the value 100. These variables will represent the core statistics for your character profile system.

Try it yourself

print("=== Character Status Display ===")
