There are several ways by which a variable can be given a value. One of
the ways is to use either the function set or the function
setq. Another way is to use let (see section let). (The
jargon for this process is to bind a variable to a value.)
The following sections not only describe how set and setq
work but also illustrate how arguments are passed.
