Lesson 4 Python

This document is a lesson on Python data types, covering lists, dictionaries, tuples, and sets. It includes definitions, examples, and functions associated with each data type, as well as concepts like list comprehension and the use of for loops. The lesson aims to provide foundational knowledge for working with these data structures in Python.

LESSON 4

CFGDEGREE → FOUNDATION MODULE


AGENDA

01 Python data types

02 Lists

03 Dictionaries
LIST
PYTHON DATA TYPE # EXAMPLES

● List: an ordered collection of lottery_numbers = [4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42]


values
student_names = ['Diedre', 'Hank', 'Helena',
● List are written inside square 'Salome']
brackets and separated by
commas person = ['Jess', 32]

teams = [['Jenny', 'Mary'], ['Nigel', 'Steve']]


LIST FUNCTIONS
DEFINITION # EXAMPLE

There are functions designed for lists costs = [1.2, 4.3, 2.0, 0.5]

● len(): the number of items in a list print(len(costs))


● max(): The biggest value in a list print(max(costs))
print(min(costs))
● min(): The smallest value in a list

Functions for changing the order of a list

● sorted(): Sorts the


● reversed(): Reverses the order of a list
LISTS & FOR LOOPS
DEFINITION

DEMO & EXERCISES

to practice writing lists with For Loops


LIST COMPREHENSION
DEFINITION # EXAMPLE

The syntax 'formula' for list comprehension is as follows:


● List comprehensions provide a
concise way to create lists. new_list = [ expression for item in list if conditional ]

● It is a programmatically * 'if conditional' is optional


efficient way to create lists

● It is also a frequent question /


test for Python tests
DICTIONARIES
PYTHON DATA TYPE # EXAMPLE

● Dictionary: Stores a collection person = {


of labelled items. Each item 'name': 'Jessica',
has a key and a value 'age': 23,
'height': 172
}

DEMO & EXERCISES

to practice writing Dictionaries


TUPLE
PYTHON DATA TYPE # EXAMPLE

● Tuple: a Tuple is similar to List order = ('croissant', 'coffee', 'juice')


except that the objects in tuple
are IMMUTABLE which means
we CANNOT change the
elements of a tuple once
assigned.

● Tuple syntax uses ( ) brackets

● Tuple behaves very similar to


list
SET
PYTHON DATA TYPE # EXAMPLE

set: set is an unordered and unindexed


my_set = {1,2,3,4,5, 'hi', 7}
collection of UNIQUE items in Python.

● Unordered means when we display


the elements of a set, it will come
out in a random order.
● Unindexed means, we cannot
access the elements of a set using
the indexes like we can do in list
and tuples.
● Set elements are unique. Duplicate
elements are not allowed.
● Set uses {}
