CHAPTER-3

VARIABLES
&
COMMENTS
Presented by Computer G
VARIABLES
Variables are containers for storing data values.
Unlike other programming languages, Python has no
command for declaring a variable.
A variable is created the moment you first assign a value
to it. Example
x=5
y = "John"
print(x)
print(y)
Variables do not need to be declared with any particular
type and can even change type after they have been
set. Example
x = 4 # x is of type int
x = "Sally" # x is now of type str
print(x)
String variables can be declared either by using single
or double quotes:
Example
x = "John" # is the same as
x = 'John'
VARIABLE NAMES
A variable can have a short name (like x and y) or a more
descriptive name (age, carname, total_volume).
Rules for Python variables:
 A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore
character
 A variable name cannot start with a number
 A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and
underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )
 Variable names are case-sensitive (age, Age and AGE are
three different variables)
Remember that variable names are case-sensitive
ASSIGN VALUE TO MULTIPLE VARIABLES
Python allows you to assign values to multiple variables in one line:
Example
x, y, z = "Orange", "Banana", "Cherry"
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)
And you can assign the same value to multiple variables in one line:
Example
x = y = z = "Orange"
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)
ASSIGN VALUE TO MULTIPLE VARIABLES
The Python print statement is often used to output variables.
To combine both text and a variable, Python uses the +
character: Example
x = "awesome"
print("Python is " + x)
You can also use the + character to add a variable to
another variable: Example
x = "Python is "
y = "awesome"
z=x+y
print(z)
ASSIGN VALUE TO MULTIPLE VARIABLES
If you try to combine a string and a number, Python will give
you an error:
Example
x=5
y = "John"
print(x + y)
COMMENTS
Creating a Comment Comments starts with a #, and Python
will ignore them: Example
#This is a comment
print("Hello, World!")
Comments can be placed at the end of a line, and Python
will ignore the rest of the line: Example
print("Hello, World!")
#This is a comment
Comments does not have to be text to explain the code, it
can also be used to prevent Python from executing code:
MULTI LINE COMMENTS
Python does not really have a syntax for multi line
comments.
To add a multiline comment you could insert a # for
each line: Example
#This is a comment
#written in
#more than just one line
print("Hello, World!")
Or, not quite as intended, you can use a multiline string.
MULTI LINE COMMENTS
Since Python will ignore string literals that are not
assigned to a variable, you can add a multiline string (triple
quotes) in your code, and place you comment inside it:
Example
"""
This is a comment
written in
more than just one line
"""
print("Hello, World!")

YOU
