The [Assign](https://docs.uipath.com/activities/docs/assign) activity is an important activity that is going to be used quite often, as it enables you to assign a value to a variable.

You can use an **Assign** activity to increment the value of a variable in a loop (see the example in the [The Do While Activity](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/the-do-while-activity) chapter), sum up the value of two or more variables and assign the result to another variable (see the example in the [Generic Value Variables](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/uipath-proprietary-variables#genericvalue-variables)), assign values to an array (see [Array Variables](https://docs.uipath.com/studio/standalone/latest/user-guide/types-of-variables#array-variables)) and so on.
