Lesson 3 - Variables

One of the key concepts of all languages, not just Python, are variables. Variables are basically a value with a name set by you. The basic syntax, aka the proper "grammar" of programming, of it is like so:

(name of variable) = (some form of data, such as numbers)

Without the parenthesises.

Try setting the word "number," without quotations, equal to any number that you would like

After you have set the your variable to what you want, output it by running:

print(number)

Another cool thing about variables is that you can change the value of a variable, try this out by setting the number variable to a different number and once again run:

print(number)
