Welcome to Python programming! Today we'll learn about variables - one of the most fundamental concepts in programming.
What are Variables?
Think of variables as labeled boxes where you can store information. Each box has a name and can hold different types of data.
Example:
# This is a variable storing your age
age = 16
# This variable stores your name
name = "Alex"
# This variable stores if you're a student
is_student = True
In this example, 'age', 'name', and 'is_student' are variables storing different types of information.
