Data types and variables
Learning Objective:
Identify the different data types in python.
Demonstrate the rules for valid variables.
Create programs using it
Key
Points
Data types :Used to store different types of data, there are
different data types like numbers, strings.
String - Always write in double quotes
Numbers - Can be placed within or without quotes
Variables in
Python
Identify the rules for writing valid variable name and create
programs using it

Rules for naming a
variable
• A variable name must start with a letter or underscore.
• A variable name cannot start with a number.
• Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are
three different variables)
• Variable name can be of any length.
• No special symbols allowed in variable name
• It can be the combination of lowercase letter(a-z),upper case
letter(A-Z),digits(0-9) and underscore(_).
• Keywords cannot be used as variables.
Assigning values to
variable
• Storing a value in memory and the operator is (=).
• For example:
a=5 assigning an integer value.
b=12.5 assigning a floating-point value.
c=”Ram” assigning a string value
Common
Question
WAP to print your school name using variables
A=“IHS”
print(A)
A is the variable name
IHS is the variable value and IHS is a string value
Data types and variables
1. Write a program to print your name using variables
2. Write a program to print your name, age using variables
3. Write a program to enter any two subjects an its marks and
find total using variables.
