Variables and types

A variable is a name that refers to a value. You create one with =:

score = 42          # int (whole number)
price = 9.99        # float (decimal number)
name = "Ada"        # str (text)
is_admin = False    # bool (True / False)

Python figures out the type for you. Use type(x) to inspect it.

Numbers support the usual maths: + - * / and also // (integer division), % (remainder) and ** (power).

f-strings

To mix values into text, put an f before the quotes and wrap expressions in braces:

print(f"{name} scored {score} points")
