Syntax of print() function:

                  print(<value>)
                  Here, the value can be an expression, string or variable that you want to display. You can also                           In Python, keywords and identifiers are two important concepts that define the structure and
                  print multiple items by separating them with commas.                                                                      naming conventions of a program.

                  For example:                                                                                                              KEYWORDS

                                                                                                                                            In  Python,  variables store values that  can be  accessed  or changed  later. Their names  are
                         CHARACTER SET                                                                                                      identifiers and you don’t need to specify their type because Python is dynamically typed.


                  A  character  set is  the  collection  of characters  a  programming  language  recognises.  Python
                  accepts all ASCII and Unicode characters, including:                                                                      RULES FOR NAMING VARIABLES
                                                                                                                                            When creating variable names, make sure to follow these rules:
                      Letters of the alphabet: All capital letters (A-Z) and small letters (a-z).
                                                                                                                                                 Variable names can contain letters (a-z, A-Z), digits (0-9) and underscores (_).
                      Digits: All digits from 0 to 9.
                                                                                                                                                 Variable names must begin with a letter or an underscore (_), but not a number.
                      Special symbols: Python supports a wide range of special symbols such as:
                                                                                                                                                 Variable names are case-sensitive, so ‘age’ and ‘Age’ are considered two different variables.
                     " ' ; : ! ` ~ @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = { } [ ]
                                                                                                                                                 Variable names cannot use Python keywords (such as if, else, for) as variable names.
                      White spaces: White spaces like tab space, blank space, newline (\n) and carriage return (\r).
                                                                                                                                                 Variable names cannot contain spaces.
