Python Variable Assignment Guide

The document discusses variables in Python. It explains that setting a variable is done with the equals sign, like bandName = "The Beatles". Variables can then be printed or used in strings by concatenating them. The value of a variable can also be changed by reassigning it, so that batman could equal different actors like "Christian Bale" or later "Ben Affleck".

Python Revision Variables

Setting a variable is easy in Python. Whenever any word or number follows a = symbol, it is
regarded by Python as a variable.
For example, to set a variable called bandName to The Beatles we would do this:

bandName = “The Beatles”

Now we can concatenate the variable with strings. bandName = “The Beatles”

print(“The most successful band ever were “+ bandName)

Try these out on python and see if you can correct the errors:

1 

bandName = "The beatles"     

print(bandName  " had 27 number 1 singles")

Correct code:

2 

 bandName = "The beatles"      

print(“bandName”, are the most successful band ever with 15 number 1 albums)

Correct code:

We can change variables by reassigning the variable as something else. for example:
batman = “Adam West”

batman = “Michael Keaton”

batman = “George Clooney”

batman = “Christian Bale”

Every time the variable batman is reassigned as something else it forgets the old name.
There is no way to bring that back unless it is reassigned as a previous value.
Python Revision Variables

Use the Python interpreter to :

1. Assign Christian Bale as the variable for batman.

2. Print the variable for batman

3. Assign Ben Affleck

4. Print the variable for batman
