Topic: Variables and Datatypes

AITCHISON COLLEGE
PREP SCHOOL
ICT Department
Objectives
Students will be able to:

• Understand the use of variable in programming

• Identify different data types in python

• Learn the syntax of defining variables

• Write code with use of different data types


Variables
Variables are the reserved memory locations to store the values in a
program. Value of variable changes during execution of program.
For example:
RollNo= 45
Data Type:
Data type represents the type of value and determines how the value can be
used in a python program. The common data types available in python are:
∙ Integer type
∙ Float Type
∙ String type
∙ Boolean type
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)
Variable Name Examples
• Correct variable names:
myvar = "John"
my_var = "John"
_my_var = "John"
myVar = "John"
MYVAR = "John"
myvar2 = "John“
• Incorrect variable names:
2myvar = "John"
my-var = "John"
my var = "John"
