    Study Notes

    Numeric Literals and Types

    • Numeric literals in Python belong to three primary types: Integer, Float, and Complex.
    • There are two Boolean literal values: True and False.

    Special Collections

    • Special collection literals include:
      • List literals
      • Tuple literals
      • Dictionary (Dict) literals
      • Set literals
    • A special literal in Python is None, which indicates a field not created.

    Python Statements

    • Statements are logical instructions interpreted and executed by Python.
    • They can be single-line or multi-line, categorized into:
      • Value-based statements (simple assignments, multiple assignments, expressions).
      • Variable-based statements.

    Simple Assignment Statements

    • Assigns a specific value to a variable:
      • Example: x = 2, where x is the variable and 2 is the assigned value.
    • Variables in Python can hold different values over time, illustrating their mutable nature.

    Understanding Variable Assignments

    • Variables can represent values in memory, and assignment operations change the reference.
    • New assignments replace previous values, which may still exist in memory until overwritten or deleted.

    Identifiers in Python

    • Identifiers are names given to variables and must start with a letter or underscore, followed by letters, digits, or underscores.
    • Python is case-sensitive regarding identifiers.

    Reserved Words

    • Certain identifiers are reserved keywords in Python and cannot be used as variable names:
      • Examples include False, None, True, and various control flow keywords like if, for, while.

    Expressions

    • Expressions generate new numeric or text values using operations.
    • Examples of expressions:
      • Arithmetic: x = 2 + 3 produces 5.
      • String concatenation: print("5" + "7") outputs 57.

    Summary of Operators

    • Common operators in Python include:
      • + for addition
      • - for subtraction
      • * for multiplication
      • / for float division
      • // for integer division
      • % for modulo (remainder)
      • ** for exponentiation
      • abs() for absolute value

    Script Limitations

    • Interactive Python shell sessions lose definitions upon exit; necessary to rewrite them in subsequent sessions.
