function variables2(){ let value = 1 Logger.log(value) value = 2 Logger.log(value) } |
Code Explanation
The code above demonstrates the use of variables in Apps Script. It declares a variable named value and assigns it an initial value of 1. The Logger.log(value) statement logs the value of the variable to the Apps Script console. The code then updates the value of the variable to 2 and logs it again.
Example
Let’s run the code and see the output in the Apps Script console:
