Program 5-2: Write a program to display values of variables in Python.

Question

Accepted Answer

> [!TLDR]
> `print(variable)` displays the value a variable currently holds; combining a label string and the variable with a comma gives readable output.

**The idea.** A variable is a name that refers to a value stored in memory. To *see* that value we hand the variable to `print()` — Python looks up the current value and displays it. This works for every type: strings, integers, floats, and so on, because `print()` converts each item to text before displaying it.

**Program**

```python
# prog5-2.py
# Program to display values of variables
message = "Keep smiling!"
userNo = 101

print(message)
print("User number is", userNo)
```

**Expected output**

```
Keep smiling!
User number is 101
```

**Key lines**

- `message = "Keep smiling!"` binds the name `message` to a string value; `userNo = 101` binds `userNo` to an integer. Note that no type declaration is needed — Python infers the type from the assigned value.
- `print(message)` prints the *value* of the variable, not the name. …

Input type	What it reads	Example user input	Stored as
String	Any characters until Enter	`42`	`"42"` (text, not the number 42)
Integer	Only digits (and optional sign)	`42`	`42` (the number)
Float	Digits with decimal point	`3.14`	`3.14` (the number)
