# --description--
After a value is assigned to a variable using the <dfn>assignment</dfn> operator, you can assign the value of that variable to another variable using the <dfn>assignment</dfn> operator.
```js
var myVar;
myVar = 5;
var myNum;
myNum = myVar;
```
The above declares a `myVar` variable with no value, then assigns it the value `5`. Next, a variable named `myNum` is declared with no value. Then, the contents of `myVar` (which is `5`) is assigned to the variable `myNum`. Now, `myNum` also has the value of `5`.
# --instructions--
Assign the contents of `a` to variable `b`.
# --hints--
You should not change code above the specified comment.
```js
assert(/var a;/.test(code) && /a = 7;/.test(code) && /var b;/.test(code));
```
`b` should have a value of `7`.
```js
assert(typeof b === 'number' && b === 7);
```
`a` should be assigned to `b` with `=`.
```js
assert(/b\s*=\s*a\s*/g.test(code));
```
# --seed--
## --before-user-code--
```js
if (typeof a != 'undefined') {
a = undefined;
}
if (typeof b != 'undefined') {
b = undefined;
}
```
## --after-user-code--
```js
(function(a, b) {
return 'a = ' + a + ', b = ' + b;
})(a, b);
```
## --seed-contents--
```js
// Setup
var a;
a = 7;
var b;
// Only change code below this line
```
# --solutions--
```js
var a;
a = 7;
var b;
b = a;
```
