+- [Variable scopes](./language-variables/language-variable-scopes.md)

+
+Smarty has several different types of variables. The type of the
+variable depends on what symbol it is prefixed or enclosed within.
+
+Variables in Smarty can be either displayed directly or used as
+arguments for [functions](./language-basic-syntax/language-syntax-functions.md),
+[attributes](./language-basic-syntax/language-syntax-attributes.md) and
+[modifiers](./language-modifiers.md), inside conditional expressions, etc.
+To print a variable, simply enclose it in the
+[delimiters](../programmers/api-variables/variable-left-delimiter.md) so that it is the only thing
+contained between them.

+> **Note**

+> An easy way to examine assigned Smarty variables is with the
+> [debugging console](./chapter-debugging-console.md).
