Variables are called variables because the values they store can change. We can update status by using = and giving it a new value.
status = "Watching Netflix"
status = "Relaxing at the beach"
print(status)
We can also give variables the values of other variables. Here, we can give the new_status variable the value of default_option.
default_option = "upload"
new_status = "download"
new_status = default_option
print(new_status)
When we update a variable, it forgets its previous value. Here, we can display the status variable twice and see how its value updates.
status = "Playing football"
print(status)
status = "Walking the dog"
print(status)
