Updating Variable Value

It's important to realize that a program executes sequentially. This means that one statement is executed, and after it finishes, the next statement is executed. Let's explain with an example:

artist = "Edgar Allan Poe"
print("The best artist is " + artist)
artist = "William Shakespeare"
print("The best artist is " + artist)

This will print:

The best artist is Edgar Allan Poe
The best artist is William Shakespeare

First, we assigned the value “Edgar Allan Poe” to the variable artist. Then it printed The best artist is Edgar Allan Poe because at that moment, the value of the artist variable is “Edgar Allan Poe”. Next, we changed the value of the artist variable to “William Shakespeare”. Now it printed The best artist is William Shakespeare because the value of the artist variable was changed.
