If you intend to print value, do not enclose the variable in quotes.

Order of Instructions

Python executes the code line-by-line.

1 print(age)
2 age = 10

Output

NameError: name 'age' is not defined

Variable

age is not created by the time we tried to print.

Spacing in Python

Having spaces at the beginning of line causes errors.

Code
PYTHON

1 a = 10 * 5
2 b = 5 * 0.5
