    Study Notes

    Variables and Data Types

    • In Python, assign values to variables using the = operator, and no need to declare variables in advance or assign a data type to them.
    • Assigning a value to a variable declares and initializes the variable with that value.

    Variable Declaration and Assignment Statements

    • Declare and initialize variables with values of different data types:
      • Integers: a = 2, b = 9223372036854775807
      • Floating points: pi = 3.14
      • Strings: c = 'A', name = 'John Doe'
      • Boolean: q = True
      • Empty value or null data type: x = None

    Rules for Naming Variables

    • Variables names must start with a letter or an underscore.
    • The remainder of the variable name may consist of letters, numbers, and underscores.
    • Names are case sensitive.

    Boolean Data Type

    • Boolean values can be used in arithmetic operations, where True is treated as 1 and False is treated as 0.
    • Boolean values can be used in logical operations, such as and, or, and not.

    Data Types

    • Numbers:
      • int: integer numbers
      • float: floating point numbers
      • Complex numbers
    • Strings:
      • str: a unicode string (Python 3.x)
      • bytes: a byte string
    • Sequences and Collections:
      • tuple: an ordered collection of n values of any type (n >= 0)
      • list: a sequence of values
      • set: an unordered collection of unique values
      • dict: an unordered collection of key-value pairs

    Determining the Data Type

    • Use the type() function to determine the data type of a variable.

    Assigning Multiple Values to Multiple Variables

    • Assign multiple values to multiple variables using the =, with the same number of values as variables.
    • Use _ to ignore unwanted values when assigning multiple values to multiple variables.

    Assigning a Single Value to Multiple Variables

    • Assign a single value to multiple variables simultaneously using the = operator.

    Mutability and Immutability

    • Immutable data types: int, float, complex, str, tuple, frozenset
    • Mutable data types: bytearray, list, set, dict

    User Input

    • Use the input() function to get input from the user.
    • The input is always of type str, which is important if you want the user to enter numbers.

    Block Indentation

    • Python uses indentation to define control and loop constructs.
    • Use the colon symbol (:) and indentation to show where blocks of code begin and end.
    • Blocks start with a colon and then contain the indented lines below it.
    • Use 4 spaces for indentation; tabs are not recommended.
