# We have discussed variable assignment a lot in class
# Think about the recipe: variable = value
# Now, we will practice with variable **reassignment**

# Let's imagine that we're counting the pieces of Halloween candy collected on Oct. 31
candy_collected = 0
print("Candy collected so far:", candy_collected)
# After the first house, we get 2 pieces
candy_collected = candy_collected + 2
print("Candy collected so far:", candy_collected)
