Assign variables

A variable can be assigned the value of another variable.

let name1 = 'Olga';
let name2 = name1;
name1 = 'Clara';

In the second line, name2 is assigned the value of name1. The variable name2 gets the value 'Olga'. This value is retained by name2, even if name1 receives a new value afterwards.
