Extra Information

Rules for variables/identifiers in Python language

1. Variable/Identifier name can start with a letter or underscore ( _ ) character only. It cannot start with a digit.

2. Python is a case-sensitive language which means variable/identifiers names are also case-sensitive.

Example - These three are different variables age, AGE, Age

3. Variable/Identifier names can only have alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, and 0-9), and underscore ( _ )

Variable can be short or long/descriptive.

Example - x, y, z, age, gender, Address, _var, etc.

Note - Variable names can't have whitespaces, special characters such as !, #, %, etc. and variable names can't be a keyword/function that is reserved such as float, int, true, false, none, print, etc.

What is case sensitivity?

Case sensitivity is the term that tells us about the programming language capability of making out differences between Upper Case Letters(A, B, C, and so on) and Lower Case Letters (a, b, c, and so on).

Python was created by Guido van Rossum and came into existence in 1991. It is a high-level and general programming language. It is a very lucid programming language as it has a good language construct and object-oriented approach. It is dynamically typed and garbage-collected.
