Variable In Python

Introduction to Variables in Python

Variables are used to store data values in

Python.

They have a name and a value associated

with them.

Variables can hold different types of data,

such as numbers, strings, or boolean
values.

1
Naming Variables

Variable names can contain letters,

numbers, and underscores.

They cannot start with a number or

contain special characters.

Python is case-sensitive, so "myvar" and

"myVar" are different variables.

2
Assigning Values to Variables

Values are assigned to variables using the

equals sign (=).

Example: myvar = 10

The value can be changed by assigning a

new value to the same variable.

3
Variable Types

Python has several built-in variable types,

including:
- Integer: whole numbers without
decimal points.
- Float: numbers with decimal points.
- String: sequence of characters enclosed
in quotes.
- Boolean: True or False values.

Variable Operations

Variables can be used in mathematical

operations.

Example: x = 5, y = 3. Addition: x + y = 8.

String concatenation is also possible using

the plus (+) operator.

5
Variable Scope

Variables have a scope, which defines

their accessibility.

Global variables can be accessed from

anywhere in the code.

Local variables are defined inside

functions and can only be accessed within
the function.

6
Best Practices for Variable Names

Use descriptive names that reflect the

purpose of the variable.

Avoid using single-letter names, except

for simple loop counters.

Use lowercase letters for variable names.

7
Constants

Constants are variables whose values

remain the same throughout the program.

Conventionally, constant names are

written in uppercase.

Python does not have a built-in constant

type, but the convention is to avoid
changing their values.

8
Variable Interpolation

Variables can be inserted into strings using

string interpolation.

Example: name = "John". Greeting =

f"Hello, {name}!"

The f in front of the string indicates that it

is a formatted string.

Summary

Variables are used to store data values in

Python.

They have a name and a value associated

with them.

Python supports various types of variables

and allows mathematical and string
operations on them.
