""" In this example, we will learn how to use variables in python FYI: The thing in which I am currently writing is called a comment, this lets us explain our code. Comments can take this form, or the hashtag form Terms: RHS : Right Hand Side LHS : Left Hand Side """ # Creating a new variable foo = 30 bar = 12 # We can see the values inside of variables by printing them to the terminal # Python has a special builtin function called 'print' that does this for us print(foo) print(bar) # We assign the result of the expression on the RHS to the name on the LHS # In this case, the expression on the right is the sum of the variables 'foo' # and 'bar' summed = foo + bar # Printing the sum of foo and bar # This should output '42' to the screen print(summed) # You can also re-assign variables bar = 39 # This re-assignment does not affect the value of 'summed' print(summed) # Still 42 # This is because python variables are immediately evaluated on assignment
