Python Variables
Variables are containers for storing data values
A variable is created the moment you first assign a value to it.
Example#1
x = 10
y = “Hello"
print(x)
print(y)
In Python, variables do not have fixed types. They are dynamically typed, meaning the type
can change when you assign a new value.
Example#2
x=4 # x is of type int
x = “10A" # x is now of type str
print(x)
