💚 — Variable Storage: Store + Show
Task
- Create a file named variables.py.
- Make 2 variables (for example: name and age).
- Print both values in one sentence.
- Change one variable and print again.
- (Optional) Add a third variable (favorite_food, favorite_game, etc.).
- (Optional) Try BOTH string building styles: f-strings and + concatenation.
Example run
$ python variables.py
My name is Alex and I am 12 years old.
Now my name is Alex and I am 13 years old.
Bonus: My favorite game is Minecraft.
Solution (ATTEMPT FIRST)
Show spoiler code (variables.py)
This example uses f-strings (the nicest beginner way). It also shows a second approach in comments.
variables.py
"""variables.py
Variables = labeled boxes you can put values inside.
You can change what's in the box later.
"""
# A string (text)
name = "Alex"
# An integer (whole number)
age = 12
# f-strings let you drop variables right into text with {like_this}.
print(f"My name is {name} and I am {age} years old.")
# Let's change the value in the age box.
age = age + 1 # you can also write: age += 1
print(f"Now my name is {name} and I am {age} years old.")
# Optional: third variable (pick anything fun)
favorite_game = "Minecraft"
print(f"Bonus: My favorite game is {favorite_game}.")
# --- Alt approach (commented): concatenation with + ---
# print("My name is " + name + " and I am " + str(age) + " years old.")
# ^ Notice we needed str(age) because age is a number, not text.
