2.4 Different types of variables

In Python there are different types of variabes but for this course we will be focusing on the following types:

• Integer - An integer is a whole number without a decimal point.

Example 2.4.1

age = 14
print(age)

14

• Float - A float is a number that has a decimal point.

Example 2.4.2

price = 19.99
print(price)

19.99

• String - A string is a sequence of characters enclosed in quotes (single or double).

Example 2.4.3

name = "Kim"
print(name)

Kim

• Boolean - A boolean is a type that can hold one of two values: True or False.

Example 2.4.4

is_student = True
print(is_student)

True

Exercise 2.4.1 - Write a Python program by creating two variables. The first variable should hold your age and the second variable should hold your nationality. Finally print both values on two separate lines.
