In programming, variables are used to store values of different types.
There is, however, a type that is special in that it is used to store nothing.

In this post, we'll learn how to define a null variable in Python.
How to define a null variable
As mentioned before, null is a type used to mean nothing, or no value.
You can use this to define a variable without actually giving it a value.
Let's see how this is done in Python.
PYTHONvariable = None
print(variable)
BASHNone
This is useful for when you want to refer to a variable that has not been assigned a value yet, or to create a variable and then assign it a value later.
Conclusion
