Type

Variables can be restricted to a specific type.  In Trading Blox Builder, the there are three main groups of variable types.  Within each group of types the some of the variables that are available can be the same, or different.  Each of the group of variable types change how they can be accessed, or restricted.  Click on this link  to get an understanding how details are different.

Variables

In Blox Basic you can create variables which have names and can hold values just like a spreadsheet cell can. For example, a spreadsheet displays rows and columns of cells.  A cell on a spreadsheet can hold the total sales for the month.  That value is likely to be one of many other values.  An example would be a list of months where the current value of each month is displayed. When all the monthly sale values are added together, they will represent the current status of all the known "monthlySales".
