Variables

Variables are used to store data values. They are created when you assign a value to them.

Assignment

  • Use the equals (=) sign to assign values
age = 25
name = "Alice"
is_student = True
  • Variables can change type after assignment
x = 10      # x is an integer
x = "ten"   # now x is a string

Naming Rules

  • Must start with a letter (a-z, A-Z) or an underscore (_).
  • Can contain letters, digits (0-9), or underscores after the first character.
  • Case-sensitive: myVar and myvar are different variables.
  • Cannot be a reserved keyword (e.g., if, else, while).
# Valid variable names
my_var = 1
_var2 = 2
name3 = "Bob"

# Invalid variable names
2name = "Charlie"    # Starts with a digit
my-var = 5           # Contains a hyphen
if = 10              # 'if' is a reserved keyword
