$name = "full_name" same ?

With $name = $full_name , i just overrider $name variable. So isn't it simpler to change the value in $name ?

In this example, Hampton is just showing that you can reassign variables, the order it happens in, and that you can assign or reassign variables with other variables. It's not a super practical example, but it does clearly show this.

Reassigning variables are super handy when you want to take a value, do something to it, and reassign it to itself. Like $x = $x + 1

Hope that clears it up.

No problem. You're welcome. A lot of the foundation classes here have examples that are practical in real world applications, but are essential to a solid foundation.
