Variable Naming

Rules for Python variables:
❶ Variable names "must" start with a letter or an underscore character.
❷ Variable names "cannot" start with a number.
❸ Variable names can only contain alpha (A-z) numbers (0-9) characters and underscores (_).
❹ Variable names are case sensitive (abc, Abc and ABC are three different variables).
❺ Variable names cannot be keywords.

Example

names   = "Python"
na_mes  = "Python"
_na_mes = "Python"
nAMES   = "Python"
NAMES   = "Python"
names1  = "Python"

Illegal variable names.

123x = "Python" ( X )
x-x  = "Python" ( X )
_x x = "Python" ( X )
for  = "Python" ( X )

Variable Naming Recommendation

Camel Case: The first word begins with a lowercase letter and the first letter after the second word is capitalized.
myHouse

Pascal Case: Capitalize the first letter of each word.

MyHouse

Snake Case: The first letter of each word is lowercase and each space is underscored ( _ ).

my_house_name
