# SetValue

The SetValue function allows for assigning a value to an object (e.g. x=1). Use this function when you want to assign a value to an object that you need to refer to further down in your Function.

If you have an Integer type, you can use SetValue to count the number of times a function looped by adding 1 to the Integer in the loop using the SetValue function. You can also use SetValue to build up a string in your Function by adding characters to the String using SetValue or replace the entire string with a new one.

You can also use a *Type* and assign an entire object to that type, as long as the object looks like the type.

## Properties
