openSAP Python1 Week 1 Unit 2 Variab Presentation

This document discusses using variables in Python programs. It explains that variables store and allow access to data, like objects in the real world. Variables have names and can store one value at a time. Data is assigned to variables using the equals sign and can be read from variables without being consumed. The document also covers basic variable operations like naming, assigning values, and reading values.

Week 1: Python Fundamentals

Unit 2: Using Variables


Using variables
Variables are used in almost any computer program

▪ Computer programs handle data. And like real world


objects, the data must be accessible.
– In the real world you must handle real world
objects. You must place these objects somewhere,
and you must be able to find and access these
objects later on.
▪ In computer programs the data is placed in, and
accessed from variables.
▪ Important:
– A variable can store just one value at a given time.
– If the variable is read, the value is not consumed
and taken away. This is like a book: If you read it,
the words are still available later on.

Using variables
Basic operations with variables

▪ Variables have names like x or length or


name_of_person.
– There are a few rules for variable names.
▪ Variables can handle data in two ways:
– Data can be assigned to a variable (write access)
– Data can be read from a variable (read access)
▪ Data is assigned to a variable by the = sign
– Example: x = 42
– The value (data) 42 on the right side of the = is
assigned to x
▪ Data can be read by simply calling the variable
– Example x = 2 * y
– The current value of y is read, it is multiplied with 2,
and the result is assigned to variable x
