So, I think it’s essential to find out what exactly is a variable? According to our text book, a variable is used to remember a value for later use. For example; Years is a variable which I can assign a value such as 10 to.   (Years = 10).   Python has two type of conversions. explicit type conversion and implicit type conversion. Explicit conversion, is when the user instructs the program to convert the data type to another data type, while implicit type conversion is when the interpreter knows what the conversion should be and does it for you automatically. Here is an example of explicit type variable conversion: num_int = 25 num_str = 15 print(“data type of num_int :”, type( num_int )) print(“data type of num_str :”, type( num_str ))   num_str = int (num_str) print(“data type of num_str after casting:” , type( nu...
