    Study Notes

    Programming by Python - Lecture 2

    • Topics covered in lecture 2 include Python variable creation and deletion, and data types and casting in Python.
    • Python accepts single, double, and triple quotes for string literals.
    • Single and double quotes are used for short strings.
    • Single quotes can contain double quotes without escaping.
    • Double quotes can contain single quotes without escaping.
    • Triple quotes span strings across multiple lines.

    Creating Python Variables

    • Python creates a variable automatically when you assign a value.
    • The '=' sign assigns values to variables.
    • Variable declaration: Variable name = Value
    • Multiple assignments are allowed.
    • Combined assignments are allowed, separating variable names on the left and values on the right with commas.

    Printing Python Variables

    • Use the print() command.
    • Example: print(x), print(y), print(name), print(x, y, name).

    Deleting Python Variables

    • The del statement deletes references to number objects.
    • Example: x = 100, print(x), del x, print(x).

    Type of Variable

    • Use type() to determine a variable's data type.
    • Example: x = "Zara", y = 10, z = 10.10, print(type(x)), print(type(y)), print(type(z))
      • Output: <class 'str'>, <class 'int'>, <class 'float'>.

    Python Data Types

    • Python data types include:
      • Number: Integer, Float, Boolean, Complex
      • Sequence: String, List, Tuple
      • Set
      • Dictionary

    Sequence Data Types - String

    • Strings cannot be modified, you can only concatenate and slice.
    • Use slicing ([ ] or [:]) to get substrings, starting from 0 (first character); last character using -1.
    • Concatenation (+) combines strings.
    • Repetition (*) repeats a string.
    • Examples:
      • str = 'Hello World!', print(str)
      • print(str[0]), print(str[2:5]), print(str[2:]), print(str * 2), print(str + "TEST")

    Sequence Data Types - List

    • Lists are mutable (changeable) and store ordered collections of data.
    • Lists use square brackets ([]).
    • Elements are separated by commas.
    • Elements can be of different types.
    • Examples:
      • list = ['a', 786, 2.23, 'b', 70.2], print(list), print(list[0]), print(list[1:3]), print(list[2:]), print(tinylist * 2), print(list + tinylist).

    Sequence Data Types - Tuple

    • Tuples are immutable, meaning you cannot change them after creation.
    • Tuples use parentheses ().
    • Elements are separated by commas.
    • Example: tuple = ('a', 7, 2.2, 'b')
      • Accessing elements works like a list: tuple[0], tuple[2]

    Dictionary Data Types

    • Dictionaries store key-value pairs.
    • Use curly braces {}.
    • Key and value are separated by a colon :
    • Keys must be immutable (string, number, tuple)
    • Example: dict = {}, dict['one'] = "This is noha", dict[2] = "This is Yusef", print(dict['one']), print(dict2), print(dict2.keys()), print(dict2.values()).

    Set Data Type

    • Sets are unordered collections of unique elements.
    • Use curly braces {}.
    • Elements are separated by commas
    • No repeated elements.
    • Example: student_id = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, print('Student ID:', student_id), vowels = {'a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u'}, print('Vowel Letters:', vowels), mixed_set = {'Hello', 1, -2, 'Bye'}, print('Set of mixed data types:', mixed_set).

    Boolean Data Type

    • Represents True or False.
    • bool() function evaluates expressions/values.
    • True is equivalent to 1, False is equivalent to 0.

    Data Types Casting

    • Implicit: Automatic type conversion, e.g., operating on integers and floats.
      • True is treated as 1, and False as 0.
    • Explicit: Manual type conversion using functions like int(), float(), str().
      • Examples include int("100"), float("9.99"), str(10).
      • Note potential errors with explicit casting, e.g. conversion of strings that aren't valid numeric values.
    • Special case conversions: Converting between binary, octal, and hexadecimal numbers to decimal.

    Sequence Type Casting

    • Convert strings and tuples to lists using list() function.
