Can you clearly explain in 1 sentence each, what each tag is for? (This includes let)

Let: allows read-only variables to be computed whose values are usable within a DTML nesting scope. Local: allows writable variables to be computed, whose values are usable and changeable within a DTML nesting scope. Set: singleton tag that changes the value of a "local" variable, as long as it was defined in the innermost surrounding "local" block.
