## What is Python variable?

A Variables play a very important role in other [Programming languages](https://technotaught.com/category/dsa-practical/),
and Python is no exception. A [Variable](https://www.facebook.com/technotaughts/?modal=admin_todo_tour)
allows you to store values by assigning it to a name, which can be used to refer
to the value later in the program

#### Creating Variables

Unlike other [programming languages](https://technotaught.com/category/java-practical/),
Python has no command for declaring variables. 
A variable is created the moment
you first assign a value to it.

#### `Example:`

    ```php
    >>> x=3   # x is the type of Int
    >>> print(x)
    3
    >>> print(x+3)
    6
    >>> print(x)
    3
    ```

The variable can be reassigned as many times as you want, in order to change their
value.

In python, the variables don’t have specific types, so you can assign a string to
variables, and later assign an integer to the same variables.

#### `Example:`

    ```php
    >>>x=45.23      # x is the type of Int
    >>> print(x)
    45.23
    >>> x="this is string"     # x is the type of String
    >>> print (x)
    this is string
    >>>print(x + "!")
    this is string!
    ```

 * To combine both text and a variable, Python uses the `+` character:

#### **Example:**

    ```php
    >>> x = "awesome"
    >>> print("Python is " + x)
    Python is awesome
    ```
