Python is a dynamically-typed language, which means if you try to mix variables that have different data types, it usually finds a way to resolve the difference or raises an exception if it can’t.

In Python, a dictionary is similar, but instead of having words and their meanings, they have a variable and another one associated with that variable.

Python is a great language for beginners to learn, and mastering variables and data types is a crucial step in becoming proficient in Python programming.
