const itemPrice = 24;
const quantity = 3;
const discount = 10;
const total = itemPrice * quantity - discount;
console.log(total); // 62You’ll translate everyday calculations into code, store intermediate results under useful names, and update values such as balances and totals. The goal is not just the right answer, but a calculation another reader can follow.
