Learn Selenium Python For Absolute Beginners Tutorial 7: (Variables)

In part seven, Tim builds an airline seat reservation program and shows how you can use variables to change a passenger's seat assignment and how Python handles it.

Tim also walks you through how to use the Selenium Application Programming Interface (API) to write your own first Selenium automated test case using the POWER of variables.

Like always be sure to follow and code along, so it STICKS!

This is really helpful, thanks! Have you ever combined Selenium with HasData for data scraping?

[DevinWeis-vt]

Loving the practical examples! Do you see any advantages to combining HasData with Selenium for automated scraping tasks?

I just thought of a very simple way of explaining/understanding variable.
Think of a variable as an empty glass, you fill it up with water, now the glass is acting as a container for storing water.
So in python terms glass would be a variable storing the value water. Now you want to replace the existing value(water) to a new value (Orange Juice). Simply assign new value (Orange Juice) to the existing variable (glass). Which means the existing variable (glass) has a new value (orange juice).
>>> glass = "Containing water!!"
>>> print(glass )
Containing water!!
>>> glass = " Now contains orange juice!!"
>>> print(glass )
Now contains orange juice!!

Nice explanation! Do you think it's feasible to scrape data using HasData while applying your methods?

It looks so simple.. I followed you step by step.. It does not work since selenium is not defined although I have installed it and checked for the installation! something is wrong and I cannot find it!

Hi I tried to open the site in FireFox by automating in the same way as you showed in video. But it did not work out. What might be the problem?

Hi, Your video is good, but the only thing is theme because of which some Values are not clearly visible. I think the default theme would be good.
