Python Indentation

 Python will give you an error if you skip the indentation

 The number of spaces is up to you as a programmer, the most common use is four, but it has
to be at least one.
 You have to use the same number of spaces in the same block of code, otherwise Python will
give you an error

Python Variables
 Python has no command for declaring a variable.
 In Python, variables are created when you assign a value to it:

 Variable names are case-sensitive.

Variable Names
A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more descriptive name (age, carname,
total_volume). Rules for Python variables:

 A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character


 A variable name cannot start with a number
 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and
_)
 Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are three different variables)
 A variable name cannot be any of the Python keywords.
 Multi Words Variable Names:
Camel Case myVariableName = "John"
Pascal Case MyVariableName = "John"
Snake Case my_variable_name = "John"
 Many Values to Multiple Variables

 One Value to Multiple Variables

 Unpack a Collection

Comments
 Comments start with a #
 Python does not really have a syntax for multiline comments. To add a
multiline comment you could insert a # for each line.

 Or, not quite as intended, you can use a multiline string.

Casting
x = str(3) # x will be '3'
y = int(3) # y will be 3
z = float(3) # z will be 3.0

Get the Type


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