How to Create a Variable in Python?

“In other languages, there are commands to assign/declare variables, but in Python, there is no command to declare variables. We created a variable by assigning a value to it. We use the equal sign (=) to assign value.” For example:

CODE:

FirstName = 'Python'

Now here we created a variable. We named it FirstName and that stores a value Python. Now this FirstName is stored in Python memory as a variable, and whenever we use this variable, it will show the value it stores. For example:

CODE:

FirstName = 'Python'
print(FirstName)

OUTPUT:

Python

So we get Python in the output because this FirstName variable stores Python as a value. Now, if we have multiple variables.

CODE:

FirstName = 'Python'
SecondName = 'Java'
ThirdName = 'PHP'
print(SecondName)

OUTPUT:

Java

Now here we have multiple variables, and every variable stores a value. So when we use print(SecondName) , we get Java in the output.

Now what if we update a variable value?

CODE:

FirstName = 'Python'
print(FirstName)
FirstName = 'Programming'
print(FirstName)

OUTPUT:

Python
Programming

We get the latest updated value in the output. Because Python interpreter reads code from top to bottom, first it will read that FirstName variable consists of Python as a value. So it will print Python in the output. But in the 3rd line, the interpreter reads that now FirstName consists Programming as value. So it will print Programming in the output.

So this is how we create a variable in Python; there is no command. We simply write a variable name, then an equal sign (=), and write a value. We don’t have to declare the value type.
