# --description--

The variables you have assigned have all had values that are numbers. JavaScript has multiple different data types. The next one you will use is the <dfn>string</dfn>. Strings are used to store things like words or text. Strings are surrounded with double quotes, single quotes, or backticks. Here is an example of declaring a variable with a string:

```js
let developer = "Naomi";
```

Assign the `inventory` variable to have the value of `stick`.

# --hints--

You should set `inventory` to the string `stick`.

```js
assert.equal(inventory, "stick");
```

You should initialize your `inventory` variable with the string `stick`.

```js
assert.match(code, /let\s+inventory\s*=\s*('|"|`)stick\1/);
```
