Question

Unlike other programming languages, Python has no command for declaring a _____.

Answer 1

data type

Step-by-step explanation:

In Python and most other interpreted programming languages, a variable is automatically assigned a data type based on what it is set to.

For example, the variable declaration:

`\tt x = 3`

automatically sets the variable
`\tt x` to an integer value of 3.

Or, this declaration:

`\tt xExists = True`

automatically sets the variable
`\tt xExists` to a boolean value of True.

And this declaration after the first two:

`\mathtt{ x = } \ \textsf{`

automatically changes the variable
`\tt x` to a string with the text "Happy days".

__________

This is different from most compiled languages, where it is often needed to specify a primitive data type, such as int, boolean, or double.

For example, here is a variable declaration in Java:

`\tt char \ c = \ 'a'`

that explicitly sets the variable
`\tt c` to a char data type of value 97 (the ASCII value of 'a').
