Congratulations! You now know how to persist data throughout an Alexa session. Let’s review what you learned:

• We define session attributes using key: value pair syntax.
• You can modify session attributes by assigning new values to them (e.g. this.attributes["numberCorrect"]++)
• You can access a slot, such as answer, from the JSON response, like:

  this.event.request.intent.slots.answer.value

• You can combine session attribute values with other strings to generate a custom speech output, like:

  this.response.listen('Hello, ' +
       this.attributes['name'] + 
       '. What is your favorite language?');

• It’s a good idea to refactor your code by saving session attributes to variables.

  var name = this.attributes['name'];

It’s important to note that session attributes persist throughout the session, but if we were to open the skill again, those same attributes would be reset.

In a later lesson, we’ll show you how to preserve your values across sessions using an AWS DynamoDB database, where you will learn how to give Alexa “long-term memory”.
