Variable naming rule in python

Question

Can a space be given in variable naming. I tried a python program but it's showing an error I have attached the screenshot of the same.

Have you not answered your own question? You can see the definition of identifiers here: https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#identifiers — jonrsharpe, Jun 21 '20 at 07:08
No you can't, the common convention is to use `snake_case` for variables and function names and to use `PascalCase` for class names. — Amal K, Jun 21 '20 at 07:13

You can't give a space. It's violating the naming convention. What you can do, add underscore (_) between words. Here is the correction:

Gal_Gadot = "Gal Gadot"
print(Gal_Gadot);

Hope this makes sense.

"Violating the convention" would be e.g. `Names_Like_This`. Spaces in identifiers are invalid syntax. – jonrsharpe Jun 21 '20 at 07:11

What i mean is that against the naming convention. Simply means that it can't! – Rashed Rahat Jun 21 '20 at 07:12

The naming conventions are https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#naming-conventions. They are all *within* what is syntactically valid. – jonrsharpe Jun 21 '20 at 07:12

Please don’t *answer* questions with a screenshot! – quamrana Jun 21 '20 at 07:22
