Variables and Assignment Quiz for High School Data Science

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 🧮 Variables are names that store data values (e.g., numbers, text, lists).
• ➡️ Assignment is the process of giving a value to a variable using the assignment operator (= in Python, <- in R).
• 🔢 Variable names should be descriptive and follow naming conventions (e.g., snake_case in Python).
• 💾 Data types include integers, floats, strings, booleans, and more.
• ➕ You can perform operations on variables to create new variables or modify existing ones.
• 🔄 Re-assignment means changing the value of a variable. The variable will then hold the new value.
• 💡 Understanding scope is important: variables can be local (inside a function) or global (outside any function).
