Strings

Strings in python are surrounded by either single quotation marks, or double quotation marks.

'hello' is the same as "hello".

You can display a string literal with the print() function:

#You can use double or single quotes:

print("Hello")

print('Hello')

Python Numeric Data Type

Python numeric data types store numeric values. Number objects are created when you assign a value to them. For example −

var1 = 1
var2 = 10
var3 = 10.023

Python - Data Types

Data Types in Python
MyVar1 = "Some Text" # This is a text or String
print(MyVar1)

MyVar2 = 12 # This is an integer
print(MyVar2)

Data Types in Python
#Different Data Types stored in some variables
somestr   = "anyname"
someint   = 12
somefloat = 15.25
sometuple = ('abc', 'xyz', 'mno')
somedict  = {"abc":"bcd","cde":"def"}
somebool  = true
someset   = {'abc', 'xyz', 'mno'}

Example: Datatypes
# Can use either single or double quotes
print("Using double quotes")
print('Using single quotes')

Single Line Strings
# Can use either single or double quotes
dblQuoteVar = "Using double quotes"
singleQtVar = "Using single quotes"
print(dblQuoteVar)
print("and")
print(singleQtVar)

Multi-Line - Strings in Variables 
multilineString = """
This is a multiline string
This is using three double quotes
we can also three single quotes
\n
"""
print(multilineString)
# or
multiline_single = '''
This is a multiline string
This is using three double quotes
we can also three single quotes
'''
print(multiline_single)

Python Variable Names

Every Python variable should have a unique name like a, b, c. A variable name can be meaningful like color, age, name etc. There are certain rules which should be taken care while naming a Python variable:

• A variable name must start with a letter or the underscore character
• A variable name cannot start with a number or any special character like $, (, * % etc.
• A variable name can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )
• Python variable names are case-sensitive which means Name and NAME are two different variables in Python.
• Python reserved keywords cannot be used naming the variable.

Example

Following are valid Python variable names:

counter = 100
_count  = 100
name1 = "Zara"
name2 = "Nuha"
Age  = 20
zara_salary = 100000
myvar = "John"
my_var = "John"
_my_var = "John"
myVar = "John"
MYVAR = "John"
myvar2 = "John"

print (counter)
print (_count)
print (name1)
print (name2)
print (Age)
print (zara_salary)

This will produce the following result:

100
100
Zara
Nuha
20
100000

Example

Following are invalid Python variable names:

1counter = 100
$_count  = 100
zara-salary = 100000

print (1counter)
print ($count)
print (zara-salary)

This will produce the following result:

File "main.py", line 3
    1counter = 100
           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Multi Words Variable Names

Variable names with more than one word can be difficult to read.

There are several techniques you can use to make them more readable:

Camel Case

Each word, except the first, starts with a capital letter:

myVariableName = "John"

---

Pascal Case

Each word starts with a capital letter:

MyVariableName = "John"

---

Snake Case

Each word is separated by an underscore character:

my_variable_name = "John"

Python Variables - Assign Multiple Values

x, y, z = "Orange", "Banana", "Cherry"
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

One Value to Multiple Variables

And you can assign the same value to multiple variables in one line:

x = y = z = "Orange"
print(x)
print(y)
print(z)

Python - Output Variables

Output Variables

The Python print() function is often used to output variables.

x = "Python is awesome"
print(x)

In the print() function, you output multiple variables, separated by a comma:

x = "Python"
y = "is"
z = "awesome"
print(x, y, z)

You can also use the + operator to output multiple variables:

x = "Python "
y = "is "
z = "awesome"
print(x + y + z)

For numbers, the + character works as a mathematical operator:

x = 5
y = 10
print(x + y)

In the print() function, when you try to combine a string and a number with the + operator, Python will give you an error:

x = 5
y = "John"
print(x + y)

The best way to output multiple variables in the print() function is to separate them with commas, which even support different data types:

x = 5
y = "John"
print(x, y)
