Variable in Python Programming Tutorial #2

Variables 

Variables are containers for storing data values.

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
y = "John"
print(x)
print(y)

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)

Get the Type

You can get the data type of a variable with the type() function.

Example:

x = 5
y = "John"
print(type(x))
print(type(y))
