Questions and Answers

What will the output of the statement 'print("Sum is", _sum)' be if num1 and num2 are both inputs as '1'?

11 (correct)

Error due to data type

Which of the following correctly converts the input values to integers before performing addition?

num1 = input("Enter number1: ") and num2 = input("Enter number2: ")

num1 = float(input("Enter number1: ")) and num2 = float(input("Enter number2: "))

num1 = input("Enter number1: ") + num2 = input("Enter number2: ")

num1 = int(input("Enter number1: ")) and num2 = int(input("Enter number2: ")) (correct)

If the statement _sum = num1 + num2 is executed where num1 = 'Hello' and num2 = 'World', what will be the result?

TypeError

Hello + World

'HelloWorld' (correct)

'Hello World'

Study Notes

Working with Data (Python)

This presentation discusses data types and operators in Python.
Recalling previous topics like output, assignment, and input statements is covered.
Data types, including strings, integers, floats, and booleans are explained. Strings are text. Integers are whole numbers. Floats are decimals. Booleans have two states, True or False.
String variables in code are enclosed in quotation marks.
Each data type has specific uses (e.g., integers for counts, floats for measurements).
Code examples are provided illustrating how to combine data types and use operators correctly.
Example operators are: +, -, *, /, // (floor division), % (modulo remainder).
Converting data types is important, especially using int() and float() on input from the user to make calculations.
Example computations are presented.
Conversion examples in the slides include translating between int(), float(), str(), and bool() data types.

Data Types

Python recognizes and deals with various data types.
Data type converters help change data types.
Data types like strings, integers, floats, and booleans are important for manipulating data in Python.

Operators in Python

Many operators are available in Python.
The arithmetic operators are the most frequently used.
The following operators were shown and explained: negation (-), addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), integer division (//), modulo (%).
int(), float(), str(), and bool() help convert between these data types.
Python treats operations on integers and floats differently, producing a float as the result of arithmetic operations that include floats.
Examples were shown with operators in the command line (shell).

Summary

Python data types include integer, float, string, and boolean.
Python operations or calculations utilize operators like + (addition), - (subtraction), * (multiplication), / (division), // (floor division), % (modulo).
Data type converters are crucial when working with user input.
