Casting
If you want to specify the data type for the variable, you can do it by casting.
x = int ( 5 ) # y will be 5
y = str ( 5 ) # x will be '5'
z = float ( 5 ) # z will be 5.0
print (x,y,z)
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
5 5 5.0
Get the Type
You can get the data type of a variable with the type() function.
x = 5
y = "hello"
z = 5.0
print ( type (x), type (y), type (z))
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
<class 'int'> <class 'str'> <class 'float'>
Single or Double Quotes?
In MicroPython, single quotes or double quotes can be used to define string variables.
x = "hello"
# is the same as
x = 'hello'
Case-Sensitive
Variable names are case-sensitive.
a = 5
A = "lily"
#A will not overwrite a
print (a, A)
>>> %Run -c $EDITOR_CONTENT
5 lily
