302- TODO: ans
310+ During iterative development, you'll occasionally forget to assign the
311+ results of the last expression or statement.
312+
313+ Fortunately, the REPL has a special variable which stores the last result:
314+ \*ans\s.
315+
316+ For example, run the previous statement
317+
318+ ```javascript
319+ 1+1;
320+ ```
321+
322+ followed by
323+
324+ ```javascript
325+ ans
326+ ```
327+
328+ to see that \*ans\s is assigned the value \*2\s.
329+
330+ ---
331+
332+ While not encouraged for general use, \*ans\s can be used just like any
333+ other variable within the top-level scope.
