# Set property

This part takes a value (sometimes after working out an expression) and sets a part's property to that value.

1. Use the Property chooser to select the property.
2. Click on the underlined value to edit it. This value can be:
   - A number
   - A string (in quotation marks)
   - A Boolean value (TRUE or FALSE)
   - Another variable
   - An expression.

Tips for use:

- You can use strings and Boolean values in flowcharts, but these may produce an error if you want to export your BASIC program to run a real microcontroller.
- Use this part to write a string value to the text property of the Text. This lets you display text as part of a program.
