Understanding Variables & Data Types
Variables: Storing Data
Variables are containers used to store data. They are assigned values using the = operator (e.g., x = 5).
Essential Data Types
Python supports several fundamental data types:
int: Represents integer numbers (e.g.,10,-5).float: Represents floating-point numbers (e.g.,3.14,-0.01).str: Represents strings of characters (e.g.,"hello","123").bool: Represents Boolean values, eitherTrueorFalse.
Type Casting: Converting Data Types
Type casting allows you to convert data from one type to another using functions like int(), float(), and str().
Example: x = int("5") converts the string "5" to an integer. y = float("3.14") converts the string "3.14" to a float.
