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")
