Instruction
Good! Let's move on to variables. Variables in programming languages are a bit like cells in Excel: they store some data. In Excel, cells have strict names like A4 or B11. In Python, variables can have any names you want:
current_age = 25
This line of code:
- creates a new variable named
current_age, - assign the value of 25 to
current_age.
The equals sign (=) means "assign the value of the stuff on the right to the variable on the left" in Python. It's very important – you cannot assign things the other way round.
Exercise
Create a variable called temperature, assign a value of 15 to it.
Stuck? Here's a hint!
You will need to create the variable and assign the value.
temperature = 15
