Correct. They are just names. Again a difference between Python and C. In C a name is a label associated with a memory address which in turn is associated with a specified data type. In Python a name is just a name, a key in a dictionary. It's value is any kind of object and can change throughout the program's lifetime. A string now, an integer later, then a list and maybe even a class or instance. Of course, it's probably not a good idea to change a variables type too often but it is possible. -- Alan G Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.alan-g.me.uk/ http://www.amazon.com/author/alan_gauld Follow my photo-blog on Flickr at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/alangauldphotos _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
