Day2 Python

Chapter 2 covers variables and data types in Python, explaining how variables store values and the primary data types including integers, floats, strings, booleans, and None. It outlines rules for naming identifiers and introduces various operators used in Python, such as arithmetic and logical operators. Additionally, it discusses the type() function for identifying data types and typecasting, as well as the input() function for user input, followed by a practice set of programming exercises.

CHAPTER 2 – VARIABLES AND DATATYPE

A variable is the name given to a memory location in a program. For example.

a= 30 # variables = container to store a value.


b= "harry" # keywords = reserved words in python
c= 71.22 # identifiers = class/function/variable name

DATA TYPES
Primarily these are the following data types in Python:

1. Integers
2. Floating point numbers
3. Strings
4. Booleans
5. None

Python is a fantastic language that automatically identifies the type of data for us.

a= 71 # identifies a as class <int>


b=88.44 # identifies b as class <float>
name= "harry" # identifies name as class <str>

RULES FOR CHOOSING AN IDENTIFIER


• A variable name can contain alphabets, digits, and underscores.
• A variable name can only start with an alphabet and underscores.
• A variable name can’t start with a digit.
• No while space is allowed to be used inside a variable name.

Examples of a few variable names are: harry, one8, seven, _seven etc.

OPERATORS IN PYTHON
Following are some common operators in python:

1. Arithmetic operators: +, -, *, / etc.


2. Assignment operators: =, +=, -= etc.
3. Comparison operators: ==, >, >=, <, != etc.
4. Logical operators: and, or, not.

TYPE() FUNCTION AND TYPECASTING.
type() function is used to find the data type of a given variable in python.

a = 31
type(a) # class <int>

b = "31"
type (b) # class <str>
A number can be converted into a string and vice versa (if possible)

There are many functions to convert one data type into another.

str(31) =>"31" # integer to string conversion


int("32") => 32 # string to integer conversion
float(32) => 32.0 # integer to float conversion
… and so, on

Here "31" is a string literal and 31 a numeric literal.

INPUT () FUNCTION
This function allows the user to take input from the keyboard as a string.

A = input ("enter name") # if a is "harry", the user entered harry


It is important to note that the output of input is always a string (even is a number is
entered).

CHAPTER 2 – PRACTICE SET
1. Write a python program to add two numbers.
2. Write a python program to find remainder when a number is divided by z.
3. Check the type of variable assigned using input () function.
4. Use comparison operator to find out whether ‘a’ given variable a is greater than
‘b’ or not. Take a = 34 and b = 80
5. Write a python program to find an average of two numbers entered by the user.
6. Write a python program to calculate the square of a number entered by the user.
