Lesson details
Key learning points
- In this lesson, we will find out about variables. We will learn about the purpose of variables, but also the technical aspects of creating variables to a uniform standard. Variable declaration is not used in Python, so a wider look at this through other programming languages will help us gain an insight into its meaning.
