Python Basics: Variables and Data Types

Introduction

Now that you’ve written your first Python program, it’s time to dive into some fundamental concepts: variables and data types. These are the building blocks of any Python program.

What Are Variables?

A variable is a container used to store data in a program. Think of it as a labeled box where you can put a value and access it later.

Declaring a Variable

In Python, you don’t need to declare the type of a variable explicitly. You simply assign a value using the = operator.

Example:

name = "Satya"
age = 25
is_student = True

name stores a string ("Satya").age stores an integer (25).is_student stores a boolean value (True).
