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.
