What is a Variable?
• Generally, while doing programming in any
programming language, you have to utilise
different variables to store different data.
Variables are only hold memory areas to store
values. This implies, when you make a variable
you hold some space in memory.
• Variables are nothing but reserved memory
locations to store values. This means when you
create a variable, you reserve some space in
memory.
What is a Variable?
• You may jump at the chance to store data of
different information types like character, wide
character, integer, floating point, double floating
point, Boolean and so on. In view of the data
type of a variable, the working framework
(Operating system) assigns memory and
chooses what can be put away in the saved
memory.
Declaration of Variable
• Variables are containers for storing data values.
Unlike other programming languages,
Python has no command for declaring
a variable. A variable is created the moment
you first assign a value to it.
• Python is completely object oriented, and not
"statically typed". You do not need to declare
variables before using them, or declare their
type. Every variable in Python is an object.
Assigning Values to Variables
Python variables do not need explicit declaration to
reserve memory space. The declaration happens
automatically when you assign a value to a
variable. The equal sign (=) is used to assign values
to variables.
The operand to the left of the = operator is the
name of the variable and the operand to the right
of the = operator is the value stored in the variable.
Assigning Values to Variables
For example :
Age = 20 # An integer assignment
Percentage = 71.58 # A floating point
Name = “Rossum" # A string
print (Age)
print (Percentage)
print (Name)

Here 20, 71.58 and Rossum are the values


assigned to Age, Percentage and Name variable
respectively.
Assigning Values to Variables
Multiple Assignment :
Python allows you to assign a single value to several
variables simultaneously. For example:
x = y = z = 10
Here, an integer object is created with the value 10,
and all three variables are assigned to the same
memory location. You can also assign multiple objects
to multiple variables. For example:
a, b, c = 1, 2, "john"
Here, two integer objects with values 1 and 2 are
assigned to variables a and b respectively, and one
string object with the value "john" is assigned to the
variable c.
Data Types in Python
Data types are the classification or categorization
of data items. Data types represent a kind of value
which determines what operations can be
performed on that data.
Python provides various standard data types that
define the storage method on each of them. The
data types defined in Python are given below.

It holds complex numbers. Either


complex ‘j’ or ‘J’ is acceptable
Data Types in Python

Numeric

It holds long integers


long (exist in Python v2.x and
deprecated in Python v3.x)
Data Types in Python
Boolean:
Data with one of two built-in values True or False.
Notice that 'T' and 'F' are capital.
’true’ and ’false’ are not valid Booleans and Python
will throw an error for them.
Example: x = True

Please note that Python is a case sensitive


programming language. Thus, Manpower and
manpower are two different identifiers in Python.
Data Types in Python
Sequence Type:
A sequence is an ordered collection of similar or
different data types. Python has the following built-
in sequence data types:
String: A string value is a collection of one or more
characters put in single, double or triple quotes.
List : A list object is an ordered collection of one or
more data items, not necessarily of the same type,
put in square brackets.
Tuple: A Tuple object is an ordered collection of
one or more data items, not necessarily of the
same type, put in parentheses.
Data Types in Python
Sequence Type:
Example:
x = "Hello World" # str
y = ["apple", “Mango", “Orange"] # list
z = (“Pineapple", "banana", "cherry") # tuple
Data Types in Python
Dictionary:
A dictionary object is an unordered collection of
data in a key:value pair form. A collection of such
pairs is enclosed in curly brackets.
For example:
D = {1:”Physics”, 2:“Chemistry", 3:“Maths“}
Data Types in Python
Set:
Python Set is the unordered collection of the data
type. It is iterable, mutable(can modify after
creation), and has unique elements.
The set is created by using a built-in
function set(), or a sequence of elements is passed
in the curly braces and separated by the comma.
Example:
set1 = set() #Empty set
set2 = {'James', 2, 3,'Python'}
How to check the data type?

Using function,
type()

Show which class a variable or


a value belongs to.
How to check the data type?

Using function,
a=100 type()
print(type(a))
b=10.235
print(type(b))

Output:
<class 'int'>
<class 'float'>
Data Type Conversion
Python defines type conversion functions to
directly convert one data type to another
which is useful in day to day and competitive
programming.
There are several built-in functions to
perform conversion from one data type to
another. These functions return a new object
representing the converted value.
Data Type Conversion
1. int(a,base) : This function converts any
data type to integer. ‘Base’ specifies the base
in which string is if data type is string.
2. float() : This function is used to
convert any data type to a floating point
number
3. ord() : This function is used to convert
a character to integer.
Data Type Conversion
4. hex() : This function is to convert integer
to hexadecimal string.
5. oct() : This function is to convert integer
to octal string.
6. tuple() : This function is used to convert
to a tuple.
7. set() : This function returns the type after
converting to set.
8. list() : This function is used to convert any
data type to a list type.
Data Type Conversion
9. dict() : This function is used to convert a
tuple of order (key,value) into a dictionary.
10. str() : Used to convert integer into a
string.
11. complex(real,imag) : This
function converts real numbers to
complex(real,imag) number.
12. chr(number) : This function converts
number to its corresponding ASCII character.
