Hamster-Scripts: Variables

All variables start with a single dollar-sign ("$") followed by a letter ("A"..."Z", "a"..."z"). Further characters may also contain digits ("0"..."9") or underscores ("_").

The length of a variable-name is (in fact) not limited and all characters are significant, but upper- and lowercase characters are treated the same, so $ABC is exactly the same variable as $abc.

Examples for valid variables:

	$a
	$i________
	$a_b
	$The_answer_is_REALLY_42

Examples for invalid variables:

	a$
      ^^
	$____i____
       ^
	$a.b
        ^
	$The_answer_is_REALLY_42!!!
                              ^^^
	$1st_cut
       ^
