In this video of Python for Absolute Beginners, the concept of variables is introduced.

Variables are ways to make your life as a programmer, yes you’re a programmer now, easier.

You can assign different values to variables and make coding more efficient. Instead of having to write out a long sentence, assign that value to a variable and refer back to the variable.

An example of this is in the video below where we assigned the value ‘slow and steady wins the race’ to x. Now you can referr back to x whenever you want to write ‘slow and steady wins the race’.
