# Summer: Assignment 1 - Coding Lab (Variables & Data Flow)

## Objective:
The objective of this assignment is to reinforce your understanding of declaring, assigning, and reassigning variables in JavaScript. You will also practice using the `prompt()` and `console.log()` methods for user input and output. Additionally, you will work with different data types and perform calculations.


## Instructions: [8 pts]

1. Declare and initialize a variable called `name` with your name as a string.
    - **[1.1: 1 pt]**
    
3. Declare and initialize a variable called `birthYear` with your birth year as a number.
    - **[1.1: 1 pt]**

5. Declare a variable called `currentYear`. Use the `prompt()` method to ask the user to enter the current year. Store the value entered by the user in a variable called `currentYear` after converting it to a number using the `parseInt()` function.
    - **[1.1: 1 pt]**
    - **[1.5: 1 pt]**
    
7. Calculate and assign the user's age by subtracting the `birthYear` from the `currentYear`. Store the result in a variable called `age`.
    - **[1.4: 2 pts]**

9. Output the following information using the `console.log()` method:
   - Your name and age concatenated as a string, e.g., "Name: John, Age: 25"
   - The calculated birth year, e.g., "Birth Year: 1998"
   - The current year entered by the user, e.g., "Current Year: 2023"
