In a passage of text, individual words and punctuation

marks are called tokens or lexical units or lexical
elements. The smallest individual unit in a program is
known as Tokens. Python has following tokens:
Literals

 Keywords # Simple Python Program

 Identifiers(Name) for i in range(1,10):
if i %2 != 0: Punctuators

objects, classes, functions etc.
Identifier forming rules of Python are :

 Is an arbitrarily long sequence of letters and digits

 The first character must be letter or underscore
 Upper and lower case are different
 The digits 0-9 are allowed except for first character
 It must not be a keyword

• Literals are data items that have a fixed value. Python

supports several kinds of literals:
• String Literal
• Numeric Literals
• Boolean Literals
• Special Literals – None
• Literal Collections

• It is a collection of character(s) enclosed in a double or single

quotes. It can be either Single line strings or Multiline Strings
• SINGLE LINE STRING : must terminate in one line i.e. the closing
quotes should be on the same line as that of the opening quotes
• Examples of String literals
• “Python”
• “Mogambo”
• „123456‟
• „Hello How are your‟
• „$‟, „4‟,”@@”
• In Python both single character or multiple characters enclosed
in quotes such as “kv”, „kv‟,‟*‟,”+” are treated as same

• MULTI LINE STRING : To store multiline string Python provides two

ways:
• (1) By adding a backslash at the end of normal Single / Double quoted
string. For e.g.
>>> Name="1/6 Mall Road \
Kanpur"
>>> Name
'1/6 Mall RoadKanpur'
>>>
(2) By typing text in triple quotation marks
for e.g.
>>> Address="""1/7 Preet Vihar 1/7 Preet Vihar
New Delhi New Delhi
India
India""" >>> Address
>>> print(Address) '1/7 Preet Vihar\nNew Delhi\nIndia'

• Python determines the size of string as the count of characters in the

string. For example size of string “xyz” is 3 and of “welcome” is 7.
But if your string literal has an escape sequence contained in it then
make sure to count the escape sequence as one character. For e.g.

String Size
„\\‟ 1
„abc‟ 3
„\ab‟ 2
“Meera\‟s Toy” 11
“Vicky‟s” 7
• You can check these size using len() function of Python. For example
• >>>len(„abc‟) and press enter, it will show the size as 3

• The numeric literals in Python can belong to any of the

following numerical types:
1) INTEGER LITERALS: it contain at least one digit and must
not contain decimal point. It may contain (+) or (-) sign.
• Types of Integer Literals:
a) Decimal : 1234, -50, +100
b) Octal : it starts from symbol 0o (zero followed by
letter ‘o’)
• For e.g. 0o10 represent decimal 8

SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
 for more updates visit: www.python4csip.com

>>> num = 0o10

>>> print(num)
It will print the value 8

c) Hexadecimal : it starts from 0x (zero followed by

letter ‘x’)
>>> num = 0xF
>>> print(num)
it will print the value 15
>>> num = 0xABC
>>> print(num)
it will print the value 2748

• 2) Floating point Literals: also known as real literals. Real

literals are numbers having fractional parts. It is
represented in two forms Fractional Form or Exponent Form
• Fractional Form: it is signed or unsigned with decimal point
• For e.g. 12.0, -15.86, 0.5, 10. (will represent 10.0)
• Exponent Part: it consists of two parts “Mantissa” and “Exponent”.
• For e.g. 10.5 can be represented as 0.105 x 102 = 0.105E02 where 0.105
is mantissa and 02 (after letter E) is exponent
3) Complex number Literals : Complex number in python is made up
of two floating point values, one each for real and imaginary part.
Example
>>> x = 1+0j
>>> print x.real,x.imag

A Boolean literals in Python is used to represent one of the two

Boolean values i.e. True or False
These are the only two values supported for Boolean Literals
For e.g.

>>> isMarried=True
>>> type(isMarried)
<class 'bool'>

Python has one special literal, which is None. It indicate absence

of value. In other languages it is knows as NULL. It is also used
to indicate the end of lists in Python.

>>> salary=None
>>> type(salary)
<class 'NoneType'>

• Variables are named temporary location used to store

values which can be further used in calculations, printing
result etc. Every variable must have its own Identity, type
and value. Variable in python is created by simply
assigning value of desired type to them.
• For e.g
• Num = 100
• Name=“James”

• Note: Python variables are not storage containers like other

programming language. Let us analyze by example.
• In C++, if we declare a variable radius:
radius = 100
[suppose memory address is 41260]
Now we again assign new value to radius
radius = 500
Now the memory address will be still same only value
will change
VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &
SACHIN BHARDWAJ, PGT(CS), KV NO.1 TEZPUR
 for more updates visit: www.python4csip.com

• Now let us take example of Python:

radius = 100 [memory address 3568]

radius = 700 [memory address 8546]

Now you can see that In python, each time you assign new
value to variable it will not use the same memory address
and new memory will be assigned to variable. In python the
location they refer to changes every time their value
change.(This rule is not for all types of variables)

• In Python, a variable declared as numeric type can be

further used to store string type or another.
• Dynamic typing means a variable pointing to a value of
certain type can be made to point to value/object of
different type.
• Lets us understand with example
x = 100 # numeric type
print(x)
x=“KV OEF” # now x point to string type
print(x)
VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

• Always ensure correct operation during dynamic typing.

If types are not used correctly Python may raise an
error.
• Take an example
x = 100
y=0
y=x/2
print(y)
x='Exam'
y = x / 2 # Error, you cannot divide string

• Dynamic typing is different from Static typing. In Static

Typing, a data type is attached with a variable when it
is defined first and it is fixed. That is data type of
variable cannot be changed in Static typing whereas
there is no such restriction in dynamic typing, which is
supported by Python.

• Python is very versatile with assignments. Let‟s see in how

different ways we can use assignment in Python:
1. Assigning same value to multiple variable
a = b = c = 50
2. Assigning multiple values to multiple variable
a,b,c = 11,22,33

Note: While assigning values through multiple assignment,

remember that Python first evaluates the RHS and then
assigns them to LHS

VINOD KUMAR VERMA, PGT(CS), KV OEF KANPUR &

x,y,z = 10,20,30 #Statement 1

z,y,x = x+1,z+10,y-10 #Statement 2
print(x,y,z)

Output will be
10 40 11

Now guess the output of following code fragment

x,y = 7,9
y,z = x-2, x+10
print(x,y,z)

Let us take another example

y, y = 10, 20

In above code first it will assign 10 to y and again it assign 20

to y, so if you print the value of y it will print 20

Now guess the output of following code

x, x = 100,200
y,y = x + 100, x +200
print(x,y)

• In python we can take input from user using the built-in

function input().
• Syntax
variable = input(<message to display>)
Note: value taken by input() function will always be of String type, so by
default you will not be able to perform any arithmetic operation on variable.
>>> marks=input("Enter your marks ")
Enter your marks 100
>>> type(marks)
<class 'str'>
Here you can see even we are entering value 100 but it will be treated as
string and will not allow any arithmetic operation.

• Now we are aware that input() function value will

always be of string type, but what to do if we want
number to be entered. The solution to this problem is to
convert values of input() to numeric type using int() or
float() function.

>>> age = int(input(“Enter your age “))

>>>print type(age)
<type „int‟>
>>>salary = float(input(“Enter salary”))
>>>print type(salary)
<type „float‟>

• Python allows to display output using print().

• Syntax:
print(*Object [,sep=“string”,end=“string”])
here *Object means one or multiple comma separated
objects/messages to be printed. It convert everything (*Object)
in String before printing

print(“Welcome”)
Example 2
print(100)
Example 3
Age=20

print(„Amar‟,‟Akbar‟,‟Anthony‟)
Output will be : Amar Akbar Anthony
space will be automatically inserted between different
values as separator because the default value of ‘sep’
parameter is space

• Data type in Python specifies the type of data we are going to store in any
variable, the amount of memory it will take and type of operation we can
perform on a variable. Data can be of many types e.g. character, integer,
real, string etc.

 String
 List
 Tuple
 Dictionary

• From the name it is very clear the Number data types are used to
store numeric values. Numbers in Python can be of following types:
(i) Integers

b) Booleans
(ii) Floating point numbers
(iii) Complex Numbers

• Integers allows to store whole numbers only and there is no fraction

parts. Integers can be positive and negative e.g. 100, 250, -12, +50
• There are two integers in Python:
1) Integers(signed) : it is normal integer representation of whole
numbers. Integers in python can be on any length, it is only limited
by memory available. In Python 3.x int data type can be used to
store big or small integer value whether it is +ve or –ve.
2) Booleans: it allows to store only two values True and False. The
internal value of boolean value True and False is 1 and 0 resp. We
can get boolean value from 0 and 1 using bool() function.

• Floating point number are mainly used for storing values like
distance, area, temperature etc. which have a fractional part.
• Floating point numbers have two advantage over integers:
 they can represent values between the integers
 they can represent a much greater range of values
• But floating point numbers suffers from one disadvantage also:
 Floating point operations are usually slower than integer
operations.

• In Python floating point numbers represent machine level

double precision floating point numbers i.e. 15 digit precision.

• >>>print(student)
• >>> print(student['Per'])
• 91.5
• >>> val={1:100,2:300,4:900} # Key name can be string / numeric
• >>> print(val[1])
• 100
• Dictionary is mutable. i.e. We can modify dictionary elements.
• >>>val[2]=1000
• >>>print(val) # {1: 100, 2: 1000, 4: 900}

• Python data object can be broadly categorized into two types – mutable and
immutable types. In simple words changeable/modifiable and non-modifiable
types.
• 1. Immutable types: are those that can never change their value in place. In
python following types are immutable: integers, float, Boolean, strings, tuples
• Sample Code:
a = 10
b=a
c = 15 # will give output 10,10,30
From this code, you can say the value of integer a, b,c
a = 20 could be changed effortlessly, but this is not the case. Let
b = 40 us understand what was done behind the scene
c=b

• Note: In python each value in memory is assigned a memory address. So each

time a new variable is pointing to that value they will be assigned the same
address and no new memory allocation. Let us understand the case.

value
10 15 20 21 40 55
address 250 272 280 284 290 312
>>> a=10
a = 10 >>> b=a
b=a >>> c=15
c = 15 a b c >>> print(id(a))
1757402304
>>> print(id(b))
Python provides id() function to get the 1757402304
memory address to which value /variable is >>> print(id(c))
1757402384
referring
>>> print(id(10))

• From the previous code it is clear that variable names are stored references to a
value-object. Each time we change the value the variable‟s reference memory
address changes. So it will not store new value in same memory location that‟s
why Integer, float, Booleans, strings and tuples are immutable.
• Variables (of certain type) are NOT LIKE storage containers i.e. with fixed memory
address where value changes every time. Hence they are immutable

• Mutable means in same memory address, new value can be

stored as and when it is required. Python provides following
mutable types:
1. Lists
2. Dictionaries
See, even if we
3. Sets change the value, its
reference memory
•Examples: (using List) address has
>>> employee=["E001","Rama","Sales",67000] remained same
>>> print(id(employee))
71593896
>>> employee[3]=75000
>>> print(id(employee))

• Python is an object oriented language. So every thing in python is an

object. An object is any identifiable entity that have some
characteristics/properties and behavior. Like integer values are object
– they hold whole numbers only(characteristics) and they support all
arithmetic operations (behavior).

• Every python object has three key attributes associated with it:
1. type of object
2. value of an object
3. id of an object

type of an object determines the operations that can be performed

on the object. Built – in function type() returns the type of an
object
Example:
>>> a=100
>>> type(a)
<class 'int'>
>>> type(100)
<class 'int'>
>>> name="Jaques"
>>> type(name)
<class 'str'>

• While evaluating logical expressions, Python follows these rules:

• (i) the precedence of logical operators is lower than arithmetic
operators. For e.g.
10/5 or 5.0 + 50/10 will be evaluated as 5 or 10.0
• The precedence of logical operators among themselves are
NOT , AND , OR. So,
• (x and y or z and (not q)) will be evaluated as –
((x and y) or (z and (not q)))
• PYTHON USES SHORT-CIRCUIT CONCEPT WHILE EVALUATING
LOGICAL EXPRESSION

An explicit type conversion is user-defined conversion that forces an

expression to be of specific type. The explicit type conversion is also
known as Type Casting.
It is done using the syntax : datatype_to_convert(expression)
For example:
str=„100‟ # String type
Num = int(str) # will convert the str to int type
