DECLARING AND INITIALISING A VARIABLE
In Python, you can declare and initialise a variable in one step. For example:

x = 5
y = 10
print("x =", x)
print("y =", y)
In this example, the variables x and y are initialised with the values 5 and 10, respectively.
The output will be:

x = 5
y = 10
You can also assign the same value to multiple variables in a single line:

a = b = 30
print("a =", a)
print("b =", b)
In this case, both a and b will store the value 30 and the output will be:

a = 30
b = 30
Additionally, you can assign multiple values to multiple variables in a single line. For example:

name, age, city = "John", 25, "London"
print("Name:", name)
print("Age:", age)
print("City:", city)
The output will be:

Name: John
Age: 25
City: London

DATA TYPES

A data type defines the kind of value a variable can hold and the operations allowed on it.
For example, names are strings (text) and can be changed to uppercase or lowercase, while age,
price and marks are numbers, either integers or floats and can be used in calculations.

Let’s look at some commonly used data types in Python:
int: It represents positive or negative whole numbers (without fractions).

For example:
a = 9
