What is an Identifier?
An identifier is the name used to identify a variable, function, class, module, or object.

It helps label data with a descriptive name.

Rules for Identifiers


- Can contain letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), and underscores (_).

- Cannot start with a digit.

- Cannot use Python keywords (e.g., if, class, while).

- Case-sensitive: Variable and variable are different.

- my_var

- age1

- _value

Invalid:

- 1st_value

- my-var

- class (keyword)

What is a Variable?
A variable stores data that can be used and changed later.

Python does not require declaring the type beforehand.

Creating Variables in Python


x = 10

name = "Alice"

is_active = True

Python automatically infers the type.

Variable Naming Conventions


- Use meaningful names: score, not s.

- Use snake_case: total_amount.

- Avoid single letters except in short loops.

Dynamic Typing in Python


x=5

x = "Hello"

Variables can change type during execution.

Python is dynamically typed.
