Variable

 Variable is a name that is used to refer to memory location. Python variable


is also known as an identifier and used to hold value.
 In Python, we don't need to specify the type of variable because Python is a
infer language and smart enough to get variable type.
 Variable names can be a group of both the letters and digits, but they have
to begin with a letter or an underscore.

Example:
Here we have stored “Topper World” in a var which is variable, and when we
call its name the stored information will get printed.

Var = “Topper World


print(Var)

Output:

Topper World

Note:
 The value stored in a variable can be changed during program
execution.
 A Variables in Python is only a name given to a memory location, all the
operations done on the variable effects that memory location.

 Rules for Python variables

 A Python variable name must start with a letter or the underscore


character.
 A Python variable name cannot start with a number.
 A Python variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and
underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ ).
 Variable in Python names are case-sensitive (name, Name, and NAME are
three different variables).
 The reserved words(keywords) in Python cannot be used to name the
variable in Python.

 Declaring Variable and Assigning Values


 Python does not bind us to declare a variable before using it in the
application. It allows us to create a variable at the required time.
 We don't need to declare explicitly variable in Python. When we assign any
value to the variable, that variable is declared automatically.
 The equal (=) operator is used to assign value to a variable.

Example:

# declaring the var


Number = 100

# display
print( Number)

Output:

100

 Types of Variable
There are two types of variables in Python - Local variable and Global variable.
Let's understand the following variables.

 Local Variable
Local variables are the variables that declared inside the function and have
scope within the function.

Example:
# This function uses global variables
def f():
s = "Topper World"
print(s)

Output:
f()
Topper World

 Global Variables
Global variables can be used throughout the program, and its scope is in the
entire program. We can use global variables inside or outside the function.

Example:
# This function has a variable with name same as s.
def f():
print(s)
# Global scope
s = "I love Topper World"
f()

Output:

I love Topper World

 Delete a variable
We can delete the variable using the del keyword. The syntax is given
below.

Syntax -

1. del <variable_name>

 How does + operator work with variables?

 The Python plus operator + provides a convenient way to add a value if it is


a number and concatenate if it is a string.
 If a variable is already created it assigns the new value back to the same
variable.

Example:

a = 10
b = 20
print(a+b)

a = "Topper"
Output:
b = "World"
30
print(a+b)
TopperWorld
