In python variable is created as in following example
Rules for variable names:
1. It should start wih either a letter or the underscore character.
2. Variable cannot start with a number.
3. Can only contain alpha-numeric characters and underscores (A-z, 0-9, and _ )
4. Uppercase and lowercase names are treated differently.
Python has five standard data types −
A list contains items separated by commas and enclosed within square brackets []. To some extent, lists are similar to arrays in C. One difference between them is that all the items belonging to a list can be of different data type.
Example:
Tuples are kind of lists except that they are read only. They are enclosed by using paranthesis instead of square brackets(for lists). While lists can be updated tuples cannot be updated.
Example:
Dictionary:
In Python's dictionaries are kind of hash table. They work like hashes in Perl and consist of key-value pairs. Dictionaries are enclosed by curly braces { } and values can be assigned and accessed using square braces [].
