How to Store Stuff in Variables

[Jason]

You can store stuff as strings, integers, floating point numbers (floats), or booleans. Tell me if I left something out. Anyway, let's look at some code and then we can explain the details.

# This is an example of a Boolean.

Joe_is_from_Chile = true

# This is an example of an # integer.

Speed limit = 55

# This is an example of a float.

Another_Way_To_Write_The_Last_Line = 55.0

# This is an example of a string.

Name_Of_Woman = "Jessica"

What we see is kind of self explanatory. In fact, booleans have true or false values. Integers hold integers. Floats hold numbers with decimals and strings hold words.

Please remember, that strings are in single or double quotes with double being more common.

If we're talking Python, there's also sets, dicts, lists and tuples (and objects) that you can put in variables.

Also note that for assignments, variable on the left, thing we're putting in the variable on the right.

The assignment things edited and corrected.
