Study Notes
Python Programming Language
- Guido van Rossum, a Dutch programmer, developed Python.
- Python's design prioritizes readability and ease of use, which makes it more approachable than other languages.
- Python files have
.pyextension.
Order of Precedence in Python
-
Python follows a specific order for evaluating mathematical operations, mirroring typical mathematical conventions.
-
Parentheses
-
Exponentiation
-
Multiplication
-
Division
-
Addition
-
Subtraction
Python Interpreter
- A program (the Python interpreter) reads and executes your Python code. It comprises a compiler and a virtual machine.
- The compiler converts the source code to bytecode, a form understandable by the computer.
- Subsequently, the virtual machine transforms this bytecode into machine code for execution by the OS (Operating System) on the computer.
Python Data Types
- Various data types exist within Python, such as
int(integers),float(floating-point numbers),complex(complex numbers),str(strings),list,tuple,range,dict,set,frozenset,bool,bytes,bytearray, andmemoryview. - Use
type()function for determining the data type of a variable.
Variables and Data Types
- Variables hold data values.
- Variable names should follow conventions (e.g., lowercase with underscores for two-word names) but aren't strictly typed.
- Python automatically determines the type of a variable when you assign a value, but you can change these values to different data types.
Type Casting
- You can explicitly change a variable's data type using functions like
int(),float(), orstr().
Conditional Statements
- Python uses conditional statements (if/elif/else) for decision-making in programs.
- These structure allow code to execute different portions, contingent on boolean expressions.
- Use proper indentation to differentiate code blocks within conditional structures.
Getting Data Types
- Use the
type()function to determine a variable's data type.
