Study Notes
Variables and Data Types in Python
- In Python, variables are created by assigning a value to a name using the assignment operator (=).
- The value of a variable can be of various data types, including integers, floats, strings, booleans, lists, tuples, and more.
Dynamic Typing System
- Python's dynamic typing system allows a variable to change its data type during the execution of the program.
- This means that a variable can initially hold a value of one data type and later be reassigned a value of a different data type.
- The dynamic typing system provides flexibility and ease of use, but it also requires careful attention to variable assignments to avoid errors.
Assigning Values to Variables
- In the code
x = 5; y = 10; z = x + y; print(z)
, the value ofz
is 15, which is the result of addingx
andy
. - Variables can be created and assigned values in a single line of code, as shown in the example.
Data Types in Python
- Python has several built-in data types, including:
- Integers (int): whole numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3
- Floats (float): decimal numbers, e.g., 3.14, -0.5
- Strings (str): sequences of characters, e.g., "hello", 'hello'
- Booleans (bool): true or false values
- Lists (list): ordered collections of items, e.g., [1, 2, 3], ["a", "b", "c"]
- Tuples (tuple): ordered, immutable collections of items, e.g., (1, 2, 3), ("a", "b", "c")
Lists and Tuples
- Lists are created using square brackets [] and can contain items of different data types.
- Tuples are created using parentheses () and are immutable, meaning their contents cannot be changed after creation.
- Example of a list:
my_list = [1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c"]
- Example of a tuple:
my_tuple = (1, 2, 3, "a", "b", "c")
