A variable is a named container used to store data values so they can be referenced and manipulated later in the program.
Variable Naming Rules:(Alphanumeric)
1.Variable Name Must Start with a Letter or Underscore:
Correct:
name = "Ram"
_age = 20
Wrong:
1name = "Ram"
2.Variable Name Cannot Contain Spaces:
Wrong:
student name = "Ram"
Correct:
student_name = "Ram"
Use underscore _ instead of spaces.
3.Variable Names Can Contain Letters, Numbers, and Underscore:
Correct:
name1 = "Bhuvana"
student_mark = 95
print(name1, student_mark)
Output:
Bhuvana 95
4.Special Characters Are Not Allowed:
Example:
@,#,!,&...
5.Python Keywords Cannot Be Used as Variable Names:
Wrong:
class = 10
for = 20
(class, for, if, while) are Python keywords.
6.Variable Names Are Case Sensitive:
Example:
name = "Ram"
Name = "Sam"
print(name)
print(Name)
output:
Ram
Sam
name and Name are different variables.
Good Variable Names:
student_name = "Ram"
total_mark = 450
age = 20
Good variable names make programs easy to understand.
Data Types in Variables:
1.Integer
2.String
3.floating-point
4.Boolean
integer:
An integer is a whole number that can be positive, negative, or zero, without any fractional or decimal part.
Example:
age = 20
print(age)
Output:
20
Here, 20 is an integer.
Integers can also be used for mathematical calculations.
Example:
a = 10
b = 20
print(a + b)
print(a - b)
print(a * b)
output:
30
10
200
Integer:
10
25
String:
n Python, a string means text or words. Strings are written inside single quotes ' ' or double quotes " ".
Example:
print("Hello")
print('Hello')
Output:
Hello
Hello
Both single quotes and double quotes work the same way in Python.
name = "Bhuvana"
print(name)
output:
Bhuvana
Wrong Example:
print(Hello)
Correct Example:
print("Hello")
Strings are very important in Python because we use them to store names, messages, sentences, and other text data.
Floating-point:
A floating-point number means a number with a decimal point.
It is also called a float in Python.
Examples:
10.5
3.14
99.9
5.0
These are floating-point numbers because they contain decimal point.
Example:
temp = float(input("enter your body temperature:"))
if temp > 100:
print("you have fever.")
else:
print("you do not have fever")
output:
enter your body temperature:118
you have fever.
*Boolean: *
A Boolean has only two values:
True
False
Boolean is used to check conditions.
True Example:
is_student = True
print(is_student)
output:
True
False Example:
is_raining = False
print(is_raining)
output:
False
