Python Variables

Python Variables

Variables are identifiers of physical memory location, which is used to hold values temporarily during program execution.
Python interpreter allocates memory based on the values data type of variable, different data types like integers, decimals, characters etc can be store in these variables.

Values

Before learning about variables, you must know about values.
A value is one of the basic parts of a program like a letter or a number.
The examples of such values can be:
Python Values Example
ValueData Type
5, 9integers
Hello, Okstring (combination of letters)

Assigning Values to Variables

Python interpreter is able to determine that what type of data are stored, so before assign a value, variables does not need to be declared.
Usually in all programming languages, equal sign “=” is used to assign values to a variable. Its assigns the values of right side operand to left side operand.
The left side operand of = operator is the name of variable, and right side operand is value.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python

name = "Packing box" # A string
height = 10 # An integer assignment
width = 20.5 # A floating point

print name
print height
print width
Output:
Packing box
10 
20.5
In the above code snippet, the variable name ‘height’ is storing a value 10 and since the value is of type integer, the variable is automatically assigned the type integer.
Another variable name ‘width’ is assigned with floating type value. Then both the values are printed or displayed using the ‘print’ statement.

Commons rules for naming variables in Python

  • Variable names are case-sensitive.
  • Variable names must begin with a letter or underscore.
  • Variable name can only contains alphanumeric characters and underscore such as (a-z, A-Z,0-9 and _ ).
  • Variable name can not contents space.
  • Reserved words cannot be used as variable name.

Java Method Overriding

Java Method Overriding Declaring a method in the subclass which already exists there in the parent class is known as method overriding. When a class is inheriting a method from a superclass of its own, then there is an option of overriding the method provided it is not declared as final. The advantage of using overriding is the ability to classify a behavior that’s specific to the child class and the child class can implement a parent class method based on its necessity. There are certain rules that a programmer should follow in order to implement overriding. These are: In Java, a method can only be written in the child class and not in same class. Argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method of that class. Instance methods can also be overridden if they are inherited by the child class. A constructor cannot be overridden. Final – declared methods cannot be overridden. Any method that is static cannot be used to override. The return type must have to be the...
