Python Variables

In Python, variables are used to store values that can be used later in the program. Variables are like containers that hold a value or a reference to an object. To create a variable in Python, you simply choose a name for the variable and assign a value to it using the assignment operator (=). Here is an example:

x = 5

In this example, we created a variable called x and assigned the value 5 to it. Now we can use the variable x in other parts of our program. Here are some more examples of variable assignments in Python:

name = "John"
age = 25
salary = 5000.00
is_student = True

In Python, variables are dynamically typed, which means that you do not need to specify the data type of a variable when you declare it. The data type is automatically inferred from the value assigned to the variable. Here are some examples of variable assignments with different data types:

x = 5  # integer
y = 3.14  # float
z = "Hello"  # string
is_student = True  # boolean

You can also assign the value of one variable to another variable:

x = 5
y = x  # assign the value of x to y

This creates a copy of the value in x and assigns it to y. Now both x and y contain the value 5.
