Understanding Variables and Data Types

Variables are used to store information that can be referenced and manipulated in a program. In Python, you can create a variable by simply assigning a value to it.

Data Types

Python has several built-in data types, including:

• Integers: Whole numbers, e.g., 5
• Floats: Decimal numbers, e.g., 5.0
• Strings: Text, e.g., 'Hello'
