What happens if I assign a variable x to 8, and Y to x, can i later change what value x holds? Or is Y forced to be equal to 8?

Hopefully the question is clear enough.

Yes, you can change the value whenever you want. x = 8 y = x y = 10 puts x # 8 puts y # 10

And what would be the difference? Ruby is case sensitive, but if you write "Y" instead of "y" you will have the same output in this case. :3

firstly you can't assign a variable to any constant, reverse though! now x= 8; y=x x=9; see you can change the value assigned to x, but y has the same value of x previously assigned i.e 8 if you print the vars, you get x=9 y=8
