In Python, you can define a variable and assign a value to it using the following syntax:
variable_name = value
Here's an example:
# Define a variable named "age" and assign the value 25 to it age = 25 # Define a variable named "name" and assign the string value "John" to it name = "John" # Define a variable named "is_student" and assign the boolean value True to it is_student = True
In this example, you've defined three variables: age, name, and is_student, and assigned values to them. The variable names can be almost any valid identifier, following the rules for naming variables in Python. The values can be of different types, such as integers, strings, booleans, etc.
A variable is a string of characters and numbers associated with a piece of information. The assignment operator, denoted by the “=” symbol, is the operator that is used to assign values to variables in Python. The line x=1 takes the known value, 1, and assigns that value to the variable with name “x”.
