    Study Notes

    Converting Integers to Strings with str() Function

    • The str() function is used to convert an integer number stored in a variable into a string.
    • The str() function is used in the code snippet str(age) to convert the age variable to a string.
    • The statement print('Hello ' + name + ', you are ' + str(age) + ' years old') will print Hello Rob-bot, you are 10 years old.

    Introduction to Python Programming

    Variables

    • A variable is a named storage location for data in programming.
    • Variables can hold values such as numbers, strings, calculations, or other variables.
    • Memorable names are used to create variables so that the information they hold can be remembered and retrieved later.
    • Variable rules: a variable name cannot start with a number, and a variable name must not contain any spaces.

    Assigning Data to a Variable

    • Data can be assigned to a variable using the assignment operator (=).
    • Examples of assigning data to a variable:
      • Allocating a string to a variable: a = "Hello World"
      • Allocating an integer to a variable: points = 256

    Printing Variables

    • Once data has been assigned to a variable, it can be printed using the print() function.
    • Examples of printing variables:
      • Printing a string variable: print(a)
      • Printing an integer variable: print(points)

    Combining Variables and Strings in Print Statements

    • Variables can be combined with string statements using the + symbol.
    • The + symbol allows you to concatenate data and information.
    • Example of combining variables and strings in a print statement: print(variable + " is the greatest sports team in the world!")

    str() Function

    • The str() function can be used to convert integer numbers stored in a variable into strings.
    • The str() function is used to combine integer variables with strings in print statements.
    • Example of using the str() function: print("Hello " + name + ", you are " + str(age) + " years old")
