Python - change variable type during program execution - ple - Apr-12-2020 Why python allows to change the type of a variable during program execution. Example: sample_var = "test"; (type->string) sample_var = 1; (type->integer) sample_var = []; (type->list) Why can the same variable store different types of data? The first assignment should determine the type of the variable!
