As mentioned in the previous chapter, variables are widely used for storing values for future usage. There are some restrictions and specifications for variable names in Python:

  • A variable name can contain letters, numbers, or underscores
  • A variable name cannot start with a number
  • Variables are case-sensitive, i.e., Var and var are two different variables
  • No special characters other than underscore _ are allowed
  • You can't use reserved keywords as variables' names (such as, if, while, for, try, ...)
