Examples

We have created two variables to be used later in rules.

Their initial values will be calculated with the statement. In this case it will resolve to 0. 

variables:
  price:
    value: 0
  count:
    value: 0

We have created three math symbols as variables. 

variables:
  PI:
    value: 3.141592653
  E:
    value: 2.718281828
  OMEGA:
