Python Programming

Variables, Data Types,


and Operators
Python Variables

In Python, variables are created when you


assign a value to them. The assignment
operator, which is denoted by the equal sign
(=), is used to assign a value to a variable. For
example, the following code creates a variable
named "x" and assigns the value 5 to it
Naming a Variable

A variable name must start with a letter or


the underscore character
A variable name cannot start with a
number
A variable name can only contain alpha-
numeric characters and underscores (A-z,
0-9, and _ )
Variable names are case-sensitive (age,
Age and AGE are three different variables)
Python is a dynamically typed language, which means
that the data type of a variable is determined at runtime
based on the value that is assigned to it. This is different
from statically typed languages like Java, where the data
type of a variable is specified explicitly in the code.
Python Data Types:
Python supports several built-in data types, which include

Numbers: Python supports integers, floating-point


numbers, and complex numbers. For example:
Strings: Strings are used to represent text in Python. They
are enclosed in single or double quotes. For example:
Lists: Lists are used to store a collection of items. They are
enclosed in square brackets and separated by commas.
For example
Tuples: Tuples are similar to lists but are immutable, which
means that their contents cannot be changed after they
are created. They are enclosed in parentheses and
separated by commas. For example:
Sets: Sets are used to store a collection of unique items.
They are enclosed in curly braces or created using the
set() function. For example
Dictionaries: Dictionaries are used to store key-value pairs.
They are enclosed in curly braces and each keyvalue pair is
separated by a colon. For example:
