TOPIC 2: Variables, Data Types & Operators

2. Creating Variables

Python has no command for declaring a variable.

A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it.

Example


x = 5
v = "John"
print(x)
print(v)
    

Variables do not need to be declared with any particular type, and can even change type after they have been set.

Example


x = 4      # x is of type int
x = "Sally"  # x is now of type str
print(x)
