an int value), print its contents, then modify its value (to a float value), and print its contents again. Code and execute productPrice = 150 print(productPrice) productPrice = 250.5 a print(productPrice) Figure 5-6 shows what happens internally in the computer’s memory. When line 1 is executed, the variable productPrice is created with a value of 150 and an int type. Then, line 3 is executed, its value is modified to 250.5, which also changes its type to float. Line 1 Line 3 450 280.5 Figure 5-6. Modifying the value and type of a variable. fe Quick discussion: Recognizing that variables in Python handle different types will help us better understand how Python works and our different possibilities for using those variables. Other programming languages have stricter typing (for example, Java). In Java, an int variable could not be modi- fied to a float number (it could only be modified to another int number). Reusing variables to define new variables In many programming languages, it is possible to create or modify variables based on the values of previously created variables. The following code shows how: (i) we create a variable IuisAge with a value of 10, (ii) we create a variable JawraAge with a value of 20, (iii) we create a variable sum that will be equal to the value contained in the variable Iuis- Age plus the value contained in the variable lauraAge (which is 30), (iv) we create a variable average that will be equal to the variable sum divided by 2, and (v) we print the value stored in average (15.0). Code and execute luisAge = 10 lauraAge = 20 sum = luisAge + lauraAge average = sum/2 ee print(average) Figure 5-7 shows the output on the screen when running the above code. As we can see, the result is 15.0, which means that average is of type float. It is because division in Python always generates a float type (regardless of the type of the numbers being divided).
