# --description--

Variables can be <dfn>assigned</dfn> a value. When you do this while you declare it, this is called <dfn>initialization</dfn>. For example:

```js
var camperbot = "Bot";
```

This would initialize the `camperbot` variable with a value of `Bot`, a string.

Initialize your `xp` variable to have a value of `0`, a number.

# --hints--

`xp` should have a value of `0`.

```js
assert.equal(xp, 0);
```

You should initialize the `xp` variable to `0`. Don't forget the semi-colon at the end of the line.

```js
assert.match(code, /var\s+xp\s*=\s*0\s*;/)
```
