Python Variables

Store and reuse values with clear names.

Python

name = "Ada"
score = 91
print(name, score)

Output

Ada 91

Explanation

A variable gives a value a name. Python creates it when you assign with =. Names are case sensitive, and a later assignment can replace the value.

What happens	State after step	Output so far
Assign the string Ada to name.	`name = "Ada"`	—
Assign the integer 91 to score.	`name = "Ada", score = 91`	—
Read both variables and send them to print.	`name = "Ada", score = 91`	Ada 91
