How could the **hi** variable of **second.jl** be used in **first.jl** knowing that an include is made in **second.jl** over **first.jl**

Example

first.jl

```julia
any = "$(hi)" # hi is undefined
println()

```

second.jl

```julia
hi = "hola" # variable for use in first.jl
include("first.jl")

```

Did you try it? It looks fine to me.

The println() method has no argument so it doesn’t actually show the string stored in `any`
