form actions. In the previous exam- ple, we passed arguments to the print() function, and the value of each argu- ment was displayed on the screen. We will discuss the topic of functions and arguments in detail in Chapter 14. Finally, let’s analyze the following code: Code and execute age=21 print(agee) When we execute the above code, an error will ap- pear on the screen (see Figure 5-4), indicating that the variable agee is not defined. The problem is that the variable name contains an extra letter “e”. In Python, we must be very careful when using vari- able names, as the name must be exactly the same in every line of code where we use the variable. Python even distinguishes between uppercase and lower- case letters. ck (most recent call 2>() Nametrror Sipython -input-2-43f79bfa7606> in 2 print(agee) Nameerror: name ‘agee' is not defined Figure 5-4. Error when using an undefined variable. 5.5. Modifying Variables As their name implies, variables can change their values. For example, we can create a variable to store the price of a product and then modify that price in the code (e.g., to apply a discount). Modifying the value of a variable The following code shows how we create a variable named productPrice, print its contents, modify its value, and print its contents again. Note that the numbers on the left-hand side of the code are there only to help us easily identify the lines of code and should not be included in your code. Code and execute 1. productPrice = 150 2. print(productPrice) 3. productPrice = 250 4. print(productPrice) Figure 5-5 shows what happens internally in the computer’s memory. Lines 1 to 4 are executed in se- quence. When line 1 is executed, a variable named productPrice is created with a value of 150. Later, when line 3 is executed, the value of the productPrice variable is modified from 150 to 250. Since the vari- ables have the same name, Python only reserves one space in memory (i.e., it only creates one box). Line 1 Line 3 Figure 5-5. Modifying the value of a variable. Modifying the value and type of a variable In Python, it is possible to modify both the value and type of a variable. The following code shows how we create a variable named productPrice (initially with
