TWO DIFFERENT DATA TYPES AND DEFINITION

Integer data types→ A data type that stores whole numbers, either positive or negative, without decimal points. 

String data type → A data type that store sequence of characters, digits or symbols enclosed between the double quotes that is treated like text. 

A boolean data type → a data type that can store only two values: true or false. It's used to store and represent logical values

The float data type → data type that stores numbers with fractions 

WHAT DO WE USE INPUT FOR 

We use input to fetch an input from the user.

HOW TO USE INPUT() 

1. Variable assigned to input() function

2. Inside the parentheses of input(), we provide a prompt (enclosed in double quotation marks ("").

3. The user's input is stored in the variable.

VARIABLES

VARIABLES → memory locations whose value may change during execution of the program

variable name rules

A variable name 

• consist of letters, digits, and underscore 

• Start with a letter, underscore. Not digit

• Cannot have a space in between 

• Cannot be a keyword 

• Python → case sensitive 

  • Uppercase different to those in lower case

ASSIGNING MULTIPLE VALUES TO MULTIPLE VARIABLES EXAMPLE

x,y,z = 2,5,”hello”

x=2

y=5

z=”hello”

ASSIGNING SAME VALUE TO MULTIPLE VARIABLES

x = y = z = 25
