Are Python identifiers case-sensitive ?

Python identifiers are case-sensitive, meaning that variable names, function names, and other identifiers must be used consistently with regard to uppercase and lowercase letters.

Examples

[pastacode lang=”python” manual=”variable%20%3D%20100%0A%0AVariable%20%3D%20200%0A%0Aprint(variable)%0A%0Aprint(Variable)” message=”” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]

Output

[pastacode lang=”python” manual=”100%0A200%0A%0A” message=”” highlight=”” provider=”manual”/]
