are you sure that they can’t contain numbers? have you tried?

remember the rules you found in the lesson

When naming variables in Python, there are some important rules you should keep in mind:

• Variable names can only start with a letter or an underscore (_), not a number.
• Variable names can only contain alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9) and underscores (_).
• Variable names are case-sensitive — age, Age, and AGE are all considered unique.
• Variable names cannot be one of Python’s reserved keywords such as if, class, or def.

what does it say about numbers?
