Last lesson the computer forgot everything the moment it printed it. Today we give it a memory.
name = "Rodas" is a variable. Read it right to left: take "Rodas", and store it under the label name. Now anywhere below, name is "Rodas" — you don't have to retype it.
Notice age = 15 has no quotes. That's because 15 is a number (an int), not text. Quotes mean "this is a string, treat it as words, not math." Mix them up and Python will let you know.
You can glue strings together with +, or build a sentence with an f-string:
That f"..." is an f-string — the f before the quotes means "look inside the curly braces and fill in the variables." It's the cleanest way to mix text and values, and you'll use it constantly.
Variables can change. That's the whole point of the word "variable":
Your turn
Make three variables: your name, your age, and your favorite subject. Print a sentence using all three in one f-string.
Next lesson: teaching the computer to make decisions — to do different things depending on what's true.
