title: Declare String Variables
challengeType: 1

## Description
<section id='description'>
Previously we have used the code
<code>var myName = "your name";</code>
<code>"your name"</code> is called a <dfn>string</dfn> <dfn>literal</dfn>. It is a string because it is a series of zero or more characters enclosed in single or double quotes.
</section>
## Instructions
<section id='instructions'>
Create two new <code>string</code> variables: <code>myFirstName</code> and <code>myLastName</code> and assign them the values of your first and last name, respectively.
</section>
## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>myFirstName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.
testString: 'assert((function(){if(typeof myFirstName !== "undefined" && typeof myFirstName === "string" && myFirstName.length > 0){return true;}else{return false;}})(), "<code>myFirstName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.");'
- text: <code>myLastName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.
testString: 'assert((function(){if(typeof myLastName !== "undefined" && typeof myLastName === "string" && myLastName.length > 0){return true;}else{return false;}})(), "<code>myLastName</code> should be a string with at least one character in it.");'
