How would I add a sound variable to my code?

Question

I am writing some code in JavaScript for a ray cast shooting program. I have all the variables I need except for sound, and I'm not too sure on how to add that variable into my code. I would really appreciate any help people can give to solve this problem, and show me how to add a sound variable to my code.

#pragma strict

var Effect : Transform;
var Damage = 100;

function Update () {

	var hit : RaycastHit;
	var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0)); 
	
	if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
	{
		if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100))
		{
			hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
		}
	}
}

You'll need to add an audio source to your GameObject and assign it with an AudioClip, then you can play the sound like this when your raycast hits something.

#pragma strict

var Effect : Transform;
var Damage = 100;
var AudioSource : AudioSource;

function Start () {
    AudioSource = GetComponent.<AudioSource>();
}

function Update () {
    var hit : RaycastHit;
    var ray : Ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Vector3(Screen.width*0.5, Screen.height*0.5, 0)); 

    if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
    {
        if (Physics.Raycast (ray, hit, 100))
        {
            hit.transform.SendMessage("ApplyDamage", Damage, SendMessageOptions.DontRequireReceiver);
            AudioSource.Play();
        }
    }
}
