Python Naming Rules for Variables
Variables should always have descriptive names for better readability and maintainability. However, concise names like x
, y
, or temp
are acceptable when the context is clear and unambiguous.
The preferred way to name variables in Python is to use snake_case, where words are written in lowercase and separated by underscores.
12# Snake_case is preferred in Python because it improves readability each_word_in_lowercase_and_separated_with_underscores = 1000
Regardless of the naming style, variable names must always follow established naming rules and conventions.
Python will raise an error if variable names violate naming rules, such as starting with a number, using spaces, special characters, reserved keywords, or invalid characters.
