Variables in Python are used to store data values. A variable is created the moment you assign a value to it. Python is dynamically typed, which means you don’t need to declare the type of a variable explicitly.

Syntax for Variable Assignment

x = 10          # Assigning an integer value to x
y = "Good Morning"  # Assigning a string value to y

Variable Naming Rules

  • Variable names can contain letters (a–z, A–Z), numbers (0–9), and underscores (_)

  • Variable names must start with a letter or an underscore

  • Variable names are case-sensitive (Name and name are different)

Example

age = 25
name = "John"
is_student = True
Age=30

Note:
age and Age are treated as two different variables in Python because variable names are case-sensitive.

Data Types in Python: Python has various built-in data types. Some common ones are: - *int*: For integers (e.g., 1, -3, 100) - *float*: For floating-point numbers (e.g., 3.14, -0.001) - *str*: For strings (e.g., "Hello", "Python") - *bool*: For boolean values (True or False) Type Checking: You can use the `type()` function to check the type of a variable. Ex: a = 10 print ( type ( a )) #output:<class 'int'>   Type Conversion: Python allows you to convert between data types using functions like `int()`, `float()`, `str()`, etc. Ex: x = "10"   # x is a string y = int ( x )   # Convert string to integer z = float ( y )   # Convert integer to float print ( z )   # Output: 10.0 Assigning Values to Multiple Variables: Python allows you to assign values to multiple variables in a single line. Ex: x , y , z = 10 , 20 , 30 print ( x )   # Output: 10 print ( y )   # Output: 20 print ( z )   # Output: 30 You can also assign the same value to m...
