Before understanding the concept of variables in Python, you must know how variables work in other programming languages. In C, Java, and many other programming languages, the concept of a variable is linked to memory space, and a variable is perceived as a storage box that can store some value.

Here's an example of how the concept of variables works in other programming languages:

Example:

x = 1;

In the above example, memory is allocated with the name "x", and the value "1" is stored there. Here, we can see the memory as a container that holds the value, as shown in the picture below.

x = 1

This way, for each variable, there will be a new memory space created with the variable's name, and if we change the variable's value, then memory will be updated with the new value.

Example:

int x,y = 1;

x and y = 1

This lets us understand how the variable works in other programming languages. But in Python, the case is different, and here a variable is seen as a tag or name tied to some value. Here is an example of how to declare a variable in Python:

Example:

x = 1

In the above Python example, a value "1" is created in the memory, and then the tag name "x" has been created, which is tied to the value.

x tied to value 1

If we change the variable value to a new value, a new value is created in memory, and the tag is shifted to a new one. The old value becomes un-referenced in this case, and the garbage collector removes it.

Assigning a variable to another variable creates a new tag connected to the same value.

x and y tied to 1

Example:

int y = x;

In the above example, we store the value of "x" in "y". A new tag, "y" will be generated, referring to the value "1".

In this way, we can understand how variables in Python differ from other programming languages.
