Study Notes
Data Types in Python
- Strings: sequences of characters, e.g. "Hello World!"
- Boolean: represents truth values, either True or False
- Scalar objects: cannot be subdivided, e.g. int, float, bool, NoneType
- Non-scalar objects: have internal structure that can be accessed
String Operations
- Concatenation: using the
+operator, e.g. "College of" + "Technological" + "Innovation" - Repetition: using the
*operator, e.g. "Hello World!" * 2 - Slicing: using the
[]and[:]operators, e.g. "Hello World!"[0] returns the first character, "Hello World!"[2:5] returns characters from the 3rd to the 5th
Boolean Operations
- Boolean values: True or False
- Assigning Boolean values to variables: e.g.
zero = False,one = True - Evaluating Boolean expressions: e.g.
45 > 35returns True,89 < 79returns False
Operators
- Arithmetic operators:
+,-,*,/,%,**, etc. - Relational operators:
==,!=,>,<,>=,<= - Logical operators:
and,or,not - Operator precedence: parentheses,
**,*,/,+,-, etc.
Variables and Data Types
- Binding variables and values: using the
=operator, e.g.result = 89 - Retrieving values: using the variable name, e.g.
print(result) - Type conversions: using the
type()function, e.g.float(3)converts the integer 3 to a float 3.0
Abstracting Expressions
- Assigning names to values of expressions: using the
=operator, e.g.result = 3 + 4 * 5 - Evaluating expressions: using the
print()function, e.g.print(result)
Course Introduction
