Data Types 10 XP Easy

Welcome to Chapter 2: Variables! Variables are like labeled boxes 📦 that store information.

💡 Think of it like this: Imagine you have a box labeled "age" and you put the number 10 inside it. That's a variable! You can look at what's in the box anytime, or change what's inside.

name = 'Rex'      # A string (text)
age = 10           # An integer (whole number)
height = 4.5       # A float (decimal number)
is_cool = True     # A boolean (True or False)

Python has these main data types:

📝 String (str) — Text, always in quotes: 'hello'
🔢 Integer (int) — Whole numbers: 42, -7, 0
🔢 Float (float) — Decimal numbers: 3.14, 99.9
✅ Boolean (bool) — Only two values: True or False

You can check what type something is using type():

print(type('hello'))  # <class 'str'>
print(type(42))       # <class 'int'>
print(type(3.14))     # <class 'float'>
print(type(True))     # <class 'bool'>

📋 Instructions

Create the following variables: - `name` — set to your name (a string) - `age` — set to your age (an integer) - `gpa` — set to a GPA like `3.5` (a float) - `is_student` — set to `True` (a boolean) Then print each one: ```python print(name) print(age) print(gpa) print(is_student) ```

Remember: strings need quotes, integers don't, floats have a decimal point, and booleans are True or False (capitalized).

⚠️ Try solving it yourself first — you'll learn more!

name = 'Rex'      # A string (text)
age = 10           # An integer (whole number)
height = 4.5       # A float (decimal number)
is_cool = True     # A boolean (True or False)
