911 PointsRepeating variables, like "result" and "number of characters"
Hello I was wondering, why can we repeat ourselfs with the variables "number_of_characters" and "result" ?
Seems like we can copy these variables multiple times over and it works in the console just fine.
Could someone clarify this rule.
Thanks, Lukas

911 PointsThank you for clarifying Jay, that's interesting. I just found an example, in this code;
num_tickets = input("How many tickets would you like, {}? ".format(name))
num_tickets = int(num_tickets)

There may be other kinds of objects that can be "locked in" and will never change.
