Example 2: definin variables in script

-Use pm.globals to define a global variable:

pm.globals.set("variable_key", "variable_value");

-Use pm.collectionVariables to
define a collection variable:

pm.collectionVariables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");

-Use pm.environment to define an environment
variable (in the currently selected environment):

pm.environment.set("variable_key", "variable_value");

-You can use unset to remove a variable:
pm.environment.unset("variable_key");

-Defining local variables
Local variables are temporary values you set
in your request scripts using the following syntax:

pm.variables.set("variable_key", "variable_value");

Example 3: assign a variable in bash

#!/bin/bash
# Naked variables

echo

# When is a variable "naked", i.e., lacking the '$' in front?
# When it is being assigned, rather than referenced.

# Assignment
a=879
echo "The value of \"a\" is $a."

# Assignment using 'let'
let a=16+5
echo "The value of \"a\" is now $a."

echo

# In a 'for' loop (really, a type of disguised assignment):
echo -n "Values of \"a\" in the loop are: "
for a in 7 8 9 11
do
  echo -n "$a "
done

echo
echo

# In a 'read' statement (also a type of assignment):
echo -n "Enter \"a\" "
read a
echo "The value of \"a\" is now $a."

echo

exit 0
