Question

What does 'can't assign to literal' error mean?
I did:
'3 + 3' = 'six'
print ('3 + 3')

It gives me that error.
I intended to get 'six' printed out,
since I intended to assign 'six' to '3 + 3'

Answer 1

you cannot assign a string to another string
'3+3' is an illegal name because there's numbers and operators only

Answer 2

```
var x = "y"
```
The above is the standard format for assignment.

Answer 3

Note that it is not this:
```
var "x" = "y"
```

Answer 4

on the left side u have to have a variable name to assign to a string ,a number,or an other variable that has to be on the right side.

so if u wanted to call your variable something like 3+3 it cant be a string ,and u cant start the variable name with a number or have an operator in it. Instead you could call it threeplusthree or threeplus3.

so:

threeplus3='six' should do it. :)

Answer 5
