Assignment and Variables

Variables store values. The process of declaring a variable that stores a value is called assignment.
In python a variable is created when a value is assigned.

Here is an example:


            #Assignment 
            x = 5
            print(x)

            y = "text"
            print(y)
            type(y)

In the example above we created two variables – x,y.

X is an integer.
Y is a string.

We can check the type of each variable using the type() function

Exercise
