## Example

In this example, we will set the value of a global variable and check whether the variable has been set successfully in the console.

### Steps

1. Drag a `button` component into the canvas and open the `Action` tab. Select the `press` event of the button and drag the `Log.write` function to the event flow.
2. Call the function `Variable.set` inside the `value` parameter of the `Log.write` function. (\*Note: The `Log.write` function is used here for ease of demostrating the output.)
3. Create a variable called `version` with the value `1.0.0`

   ![](/files/EI732Jfwgv32Tnjl4lJs)
4. This will create a global variable called "version" containing the value "1.0.0" that can be accessed by other components or on other pages of your app.

### Result

1. The value of the global variable `version` can be accessed by using the function `Variable.get`.
2. Using the above flow will display the value `1.0.0` in the browser console.
