Variables
Assignment
Assign values to variables.
Naming

- Cannot start with a number
- Can only contain alphanumeric characters and underscores
- Are case-sensitive
Reassignment
Update a variable’s value.
Multiple Assignment
Assign values to multiple variables in one line.
Dynamic Assignment
Variables can change type at runtime.
Best Practices
- Use meaningful names (e.g.,
total_price
instead oftp
) - Stick to lowercase with underscores for readability (
snake_case
) - Avoid using Python keywords as variable names (e.g.,
class
,list
,print
) - Use
type()
andprint()
to debug variable during development.
