Questions and Answers
Why is consistent indentation important in coding?
Consistent indentation is important because it keeps code clean and organized, and it facilitates seamless collaboration among developers.
Explain what a variable is in Python.
A variable in Python is a container that stores data values, created at the moment a value is assigned to it, without needing a specific declaration.
How can a variable's type change in Python?
A variable's type can change in Python when it is reassigned a value of a different type, as Python is dynamically typed.

Study Notes
Python Applications
- Python can be used for automating repetitive tasks, scientific computing, business applications, and blockchain development.
- Python is also used for everyday tasks like organizing finances.
Clean Code
- Clean code is well-written, easy to understand, maintain, and modify.
- Clear, logical, formatted, conventional, identifiable, and responsible code are all hallmarks of clean code.
Bad Code
- Bad code is poorly written, difficult to understand, and hard to maintain.
- Bad code can be more than just syntax errors.
- Signs of bad code include:
- Complexity, poor structure, lack of documentation, duplication, excessive dependencies, unnecessary complexity, poor scalability, inconsistent naming, excessive verbosity, no testing, and poor readability.
Indentation
- Indentation is crucial in Python's syntax and is not just a matter of style.
- Indentation:
- Defines blocks of code.
- Determines code flow.
- Improves code readability.
- Ensures code cleanliness.
- Facilitates collaboration.
Text Editors and IDEs
- Text editors are good for writing and editing code, but lack debugging capabilities.
- IDEs (Integrated Development Environments) are better for larger projects because they offer debugging and testing features.
- Some text editors for Python include IDLE, PyCharm, Sublime Text, Visual Studio Code, and Jupyter notebooks.
Python Variables
- Variables are containers for storing data values.
- Variables are created when a value is assigned to them.
- Python does not require explicit variable declaration, and variable types can change.
Python Data Types
- Data types represent the kind of value that determines allowed operations.
- Every data type is a class, and variables are instances (objects) of these classes.
- Common data types include:
- Numeric (integers, floats, complex numbers)
- Sequences (lists, tuples, range)
- Sets (sets, frozen sets)
- Dictionaries
- Binary types (memoryview, bytearray, bytes)
- Boolean
- None (special value)
Type Casting
- Type casting allows you to explicitly specify the required data type of a variable.
- In Python, casting is done using constructor functions:
-
int(): Converts to an integer. -
float(): Converts to a floating-point number. -
str(): Converts to a string.
-
Operators
-
Arithmetic Operators:
-
+(addition) -
-(subtraction) -
*(multiplication) -
/(division) -
%(modulus - remainder after division) -
**(exponentiation) -
//(floor division - rounds down to the nearest whole number)
-
-
Assignment Operators:
-
=(assignment) -
+=(add and assign) -
-=(subtract and assign) -
*=(multiply and assign) -
/=(divide and assign) -
%=(modulus and assign) -
**=(exponentiation and assign) -
//=(floor division and assign)
-
-
Bitwise Operators:
-
&(bitwise AND) -
|(bitwise OR) -
^(bitwise XOR) -
~(bitwise NOT) -
<<(left shift) -
>>(right shift)
-
-
Comparison Operators:
-
==(equal to) -
!=(not equal to) -
>(greater than) -
<(less than) -
>=(greater than or equal to) -
<=(less than or equal to)
-
-
Logical Operators:
-
and(logical AND) -
or(logical OR) -
not(logical NOT)
-
-
Identity Operators:
-
is(checks if two variables refer to the same object) -
is not(checks if two variables do not refer to the same object)
-
-
Membership Operators:
-
in(checks if a value is present in a sequence) -
not in(checks if a value is not present in a sequence)
-
-
Walrus Operator:
-
:=(assigns a value to a variable and evaluates the expression at the same time)
-
-
Bitwise Assignment Operators:
-
&=(bitwise AND and assign) -
|=(bitwise OR and assign) -
^=(bitwise XOR and assign)
