Python is said to be dynamically typed, which means that variables
do not have a fixed type. In fact, in Python, variables are very
different from what they are in many other languages, specifically
strongly-typed languages. Variables are not a segment of the computer's
statically-typed languages. Variables are not a segment of the computer's
memory where some value is written, they are 'tags' or 'names' pointing
to objects. It is therefore possible for the variable 'a' to be set to
the value 1, then to the value 'a string', then to a function.
