Yea P can = T.

Don't look at them as letters in the alphabet or it will confuse you. They are just variables.

Whether its A=B or /=\ or Cheeseburger=Hotdog. It doesn't matter what the variable is called, they just there as a placeholder really. The value that they are assigned is what matters, not the name.

For example. lets look at Cheeseburger=hotdog.

Obviously a cheeseburger isn't a hotdog, so how can they be equal? Since these are both variables, we will assign them a value.

Lets say we go to a fast food place and see that we can buy a cheeseburger for $2, and also, a hotdog costs $2.

Cheeseburger = $2
Hotdog=$2

Cheeseburger=hotdog
$2=$2


See... the variables name means nothing, it's the values they represent that are what matters.
